I don't know about you, but I can't wait to make these McDonald's style chicken nuggets at home. They are perfect football watching food! — For the Love of Food

In my early twenties, I fell in love with a drink called the Side Car. It was the perfect mix of brandy and orange liqueur, and was wonderfully tasty. However there was one small problem, every bartender I ordered from seemed to have their own version of the drink. Some contained whiskey, while others contained cognac; it was never the same thing twice. After a while I couldn't handle the inconsistency and stopped ordering it altogether. However, I couldn't handle the thought of completely cutting out such a delicious drink, so I found my own recipe. To check it out, read more

Last week I invited you to share your party pics in my Super Special Occasions group on TeamSugar. We can all get inspiration from the parties we've attended. Reader redhot recently hosted a baby shower.

She had the creative idea to use a bed's canopy as party decor. How gorgeous does the pink gauze look over the pastel colored presents?! This idea could easily be adapted to lots of different parties. For a Halloween bash use a black gauze canopy. For Thanksgiving hang a gold colored canopy above a side table for an eye catching decoration.

I love looking at party pics for new ideas on centerpieces, tablecloths, and food spreads, so thanks redhot! Everyone else: Start sharing your party pics!

In my opinion, the best thing about any roast — be it turkey, beef, chicken, etc. — is the leftovers. There's just something about roasted meat that makes for a perfect sandwich. Sure, you could use regular deli meat, but if you've got leftover rib roast, why not aim for perfection? With a little bit of horseradish and tasty rye bread, this deluxe sandwich will make for a perfect meal. Pair it with a glass of Pinot Noir, some salted potato chips, and call it a night! To get the recipe for the Deluxe Roast Beef Sandwich, read more

Thanksgiving is early this year, and I must confess, now that my Halloween bash is over, I've started obsessing about Thanksgiving! Last year I spent an hour searching for my gravy boat only to realize it had vanished. It turned out to be a good thing because I had a horrible time getting the gravy to thicken!

This year I'm determined to have deliciously smooth gravy in an elegant little gravy boat. Let's all head off to market in search of a perfect gravy pourer. Look for vessels that are modern but traditional in a sophisticated Thanksgiving color palette. Bookmark the gravy pourers in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Gravy Boat. Happy hunting!
