Savor the Sweets
It’s the time of year we get to indulge our sweet tooth. Cookie swaps, nostalgic baked goods, and treats in our stockings. We’ve put together a collection for this holiday season, from pies for entertaining to sweet gift ideas. Plus we’ve thrown in a few bits of inspiration from around the web to inspire your holiday baking.
1. Baked Pumpkin Donuts with a Chocolate Glaze 2. Black Jet Pies
Treat Spiced Pecans featured in Martha Stewart Living
Looks like we’re not the only ones craving these tasty treats…
A little but spicy, a little bit sweet, these melt in your mouth pecans are the perfect compliment to any cheese board. They’re harvested fresh and sourced directly from farmers in Georgia. Now available in the November Tasting Box. Try them for yourself!
Besides, if they’re good enough for Martha, they’re good enough for us!
Bird is the Word: Getting Ready for Thanksgiving
I distinctly remember the first Thanksgiving I hosted on my own. My fiance, Rob, and I had a home in North Carolina and we had just remodeled the kitchen (with our own two hands). I wanted to leave my mark on the meal and I decided the turkey was the thing to tackle. Everything I had read about turkey indicated that brining was the only way to go.
For some reason (at least in our families) the men always seemed to be responsible for the turkey, so I had to stake my claim that the bird was mine and the bird would be brined.
The turkey turned out amazing. And it was really quite easy, probably the easiest part of pulling together the feast.
We have three turkey videos this Thanksgiving because I’m just a tad bit obsessed about making sure the turkey turns out damn good. The turkey itself (love this Heritage variety), how to brine it, and the tools for roasting. Hit me up on Facebook if you have questions about preparing your turkey this year!

Fall Flavors: Pumpkin Spice
This time of year pumpkin spice seems to be everywhere. Before we get the chance to indulge in a slice of pie during Thanksgiving, we get a little taste in our lattes, granola, pancakes, and donuts. What’s not to love about the comforting combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves? Here’s a quick recipe if you want to make it at home. You’ll need it to make some of these recipes we’re loving or make it easy and keep a stash of these delicately spiced caramels.

Martha Stewart Loves Early Bird Granola
Your new favorite granola (yes you need to try it), was featured on Martha Stewart! Brooklynite Nekisia Davis, the founder of Early Bird, taught Martha how to make her granola and included the recipe for my favorite, Farmhand’s Choice. Grab the recipe, grab a few bags, and compare your granola making skills to a pro!

We Really Love This Stuff
This was my grocery trip when I first discovered the Coconut Sable cookies featured in the Coconut Tasting Box. And then I became obsessed with them (the whole office has too).
See this bag? Yep, empty.
The thing I love about Joyus is that it’s the best products picked by real experts who believe in them. They are products we use and love in our own lives. I really am so passionate about finding these discoveries and sharing them with you.
Summer Inspired Pizza
Pizza! In addition to all the pizzas I made in the video, I thought these were fun ideas to make right now while we get to enjoy summer’s bounty. Use the Marina for this Zucchini & Sweet Corn Pizza. Throw the Black Garlic on the base of this Summertime Veggie Pizza. And the Breakfast Pizza, I guess that’s not so summery, but I couldn’t resist! It looks amazing doesn’t it? Substitute the sausage for the Vermont Pepperoni.
The Secret Behind the Best Peaches
In order to keep their peaches on the trees longer than anyone else, Frog Hollow Farm added a kitchen to their property. They use this kitchen to turn the fruit that’s too ripe to sell into preserves and pastries.
