I'm not calling this dish "Thai" Spicy Peanut Chicken Wings, because it's not a Thai dish. Adding lime, fish sauce and peanuts to something doesn't inherently make it Thai. Did I use some of the same flavor profiles you might find a satay? Sure, but this isn't Thai and I'm shaming anyone out there who adds peanuts and lime to a dish and claims that it's a Thai dish, I'm looking at you 90% of Pinterest.
There's no word more feared by sugar junkies, looking to get their next fix, than 'fruitcake'. Yes, that seasonal brick of neon-colored fruit, nuts and what one can only assume is caulk & shellac. Fruitcake can be so much more than a disappointing "dessert" brought to Christmas dinner by that one weird old relative, whom you thought had died years ago.
If you plate your biscuits and gravy and it doesn't look like a mess then you're really not eating biscuits and gravy. Sure it's not the prettiest of breakfast dishes, but I stand by my opinion that if you're going to spend the day working in the yard, building something or even hiking, biscuits and gravy is the ONLY meal that will keep you full until lunch or even dinner.
Still trying to think of some last-minute Thanksgiving dessert ideas? Or perhaps you're looking forward to Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate the shortest days of the year) Well this recipe is tasty and simple. It's a break from the usual, but at the same it feels so familiar. Much like adding lemon to Coke.
Thanksgiving is here once again. A holiday which originated from the minds at Hallmark to sell turkeys and cranberry sauce. Or maybe I'm thinking of every other holiday ever. These roasted carrots are a perfect side dish for you Thanksgiving dinner, because let's be honest we're all tired of soupy sweet potatoes covered in marshmallows.
