Green Bean Casserole with Air Fryer Onions
Green bean casserole is a Holiday classic especially in the midwest. My recipe is for mushroom lovers! Forget the cream of mushroom soup and instead use real mushrooms and real cream for an elevated comfort side dish. To make this extra special, I fried some onions in my new air fryer to keep it scratch-made and light. You won’t miss those plastic can french fried onions, I promise.
Balsamic Mushrooms with Sausage Stuffing
There is something about pairing mushrooms with sausage and green pepper that I cannot get enough of. It’s the perfect flavor combination. These stuffed mushrooms are extra special with the addition of luxurious balsamic glaze that adds a slight sweetness and complexity to this show stealing appetizer. Serve as an Hors d'oeuvre for the Holidays or just enjoy paired with a salad for a deliciously satisfying meal.
Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
Cheese cake and pumpkin pie combines for this decadent holiday treat! The crust is made from my gluten free graham crackers keeping this entire dessert gluten free and refined sugar free. This cheesecake is several layers of flavor with a cheesecake layer, a pumpkin pie cheesecake layer and finished with a maple whipped topping. I recommend making this simple recipe the day before serving as it needs at least 8 hours of refrigeration time.
Gluten Free Graham Crackers
So easy to make and they taste surprisingly just like store bought graham crackers! It’s all about the toasted oat and cinnamon flavor for these crispy and crumbly treats. Have these as a snack or blend them up to make a graham cracker crust for cheesecake, yum!
