Recipe - Mrs Whips' Sweet Potato Casserole

Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Does everyone have what they need to feed at least 5000 people? Well, you might just have to go get the ingredients to make this one last thing, because boy is it good. I first had this 3 years ago when I was at my friend's house for Thanksgiving. Caleb was on tour and so I ended up at their house with a few others who had nowhere to go. I fell so in love with this dish that I instantly stole the recipe and here it is!
Now I know people usually put all kinds of weird things on sweet potatoes during this holiday (marshmallows?) but this comes with a crumble like topping, and although it mostly tates like a dessert, it's the perfect pairing to the turkey and stuffing and potatoes. So, if you're making sweet potatoes/yams this year (and lets be honest, it's a staple) then make sure to make them this way.

*Side note, this year I actually burnt the top of mine (schoolboy error) and so it's been incredibly hard to get a good photo of the result. I myself, king of like some things a little burnt, but it definitely isn't how it's meant to be. Trust me, it's a beautiful thing to make and eat, so make sure you do!

Recipe - JSho's Chocolate Pecan Pie

Thanksgiving celebrations have already come to the Shomo household! Caleb's parents were visiting this weekend and so yesterday we decided to do the Shomo traditions whilst they were in town. And boy I'm glad we did! Thanksgiving food is always great, but mostly I get excited about the chocolate pecan pie; you've never tasted anything like it! This year I decided I was going to steal JSho's (my nickname for Caleb's mum Julie) recipe and share it with all of you lovely people. I know a lot of people love normal pecan pie, but I am often of the belief that adding chocolate to most things make things better... and especially in pie. So, don't miss out and enjoy today!

Ps. I am cheating and expecting that you'll either be buying a gluten free pie crust or have gluten free crust to roll out into a pie dish - so this doesn't include instructions on pie crust. Just let yourself cheat for once... I got mine this time from Trader Joes and it was perfect. Whole foods also offer great crusts, just check the frozen aisle!

Recipe - Chicken Chili

The days are definitely getting colder and what do we do once it gets cold? Eat warming, calorie heavy food for comfort. Well, comfort is definitely key, but that word doesn't also mean our favourites have to be bad for us too. America loves chili. It's available everywhere and on everything. I don't love chili, I have a weird thing about meat that has been 'minced' so it's a lot for me to eat "beef chili". I also don't love any type of beans either, and they're not nice to my sensitive stomach, so for this recipe I've taken a new approach. A lot of people probably won't want to call it chili, but to me, it's warm, comforting, easy to make and a healthier option to the usual suspect. You can cook it in two ways and this time, I chose to use my slow cooker, but the choice is yours!

Multiple Locations, USA

For the last 7 weeks my husband Caleb has been on tour with his band across America! So (as usual) this meant that I could go and visit him in various places to not only see him and have some fun time away but also, most importantly, find good food! When visiting on this tour, I have to admit I was quite lazy with my choices and hunting, but I did still make a couple of discoveries! I've been trying to think of how to split up this blog as it's over multiple states and cities but I just couldn't figure it out, so this is a post about a bunch of locations and an array of different places, all thrown together.  Some classic, some new finds and everything, as usual... gluten free! God bless America!
