FavoritePinShare Hi everyone! I’m Dorothy at Crazy for Crust, where I bake up tons of crazy desserts and share them, with a slice of my life. I’m so excited to be here for Alyssa today. Alyssa and I met last winter (through blogging, of course) and I’ve been drooling over her recipes since. Any girl who gives chicken a crust and follows it with Carmelitas is my kind of girl. I really am in looooove with crust – on pie, on brownies, in ice cream, you name it....

Grandma Dorothy has made several appearances on my blog. One Christmas, I shared these Candy Cane Snowball Cookies, which are based on her Swedish tea cakes. Before she lost her battle with Parkinson’s disease, my grandma painstakingly recorded her most treasured recipes in a home-printed cookbook she called Lovin’ from the Oven. Included in that cookbook is the base recipe that I used for these orange drop cookies. These melt-in-your-mouth, traditional orange cookies are pillowy soft and float away on your tongue....

The sparkle attracts me. After all, what other time of year could I feasibly don a glittery skirt or a light-up snowman sweater and be right on trend?

Fortunately for us, with cranberry St. Germain cocktails in hand, we’ll be party pretty no matter what we are wearing!...

Words that encapsulate the warm, fuzzy feelings that surround the height of fall and transition into the holidays: footie pajamas; hearth; hot chocolate; mittens; cranberry turkey meatballs. Turkey meatballs often get a bad rap for being dry and flavorless. One of my goals in life has been to prove that’s simply not true. My Moroccan Turkey Meatballs and Crock Pot Turkey Meatballs are evidence of this! Today, these cranberry turkey meatballs only further cement their place is moist, juicy meatball land (a place I would love to visit BTW)....

I made this recipe use chicken breasts instead of the usual chicken thighs. White chicken meat is healthier is one reason. The other reason is that I prefer white chicken meat nine times out of ten. Don’t most of us as this study shows? You can substitute the breasts for the thighs if you desire, but let me tell you, you don’t want to do that. Chicken breast meat in this dish comes out very tender and juicy, and just falls apart, like pulled pork....

It’s funny that one of my most loved salads is this Crunchy Kale Salad with Lemon Tamari Dressing when I used to HATE kale. Well actually, that’s a lie. I tolerated kale in soups and smoothies, but I absolutely despised it in salads.
