One of the easiest game day appetizers is a beautiful sausage platter. Since it's one of the rare instances when we purchase packaged products I've listed some of my favorite brands below. When selecting sausage always be sure to confirm a clean ingredients list. Pair...

One of my favorite ways to eat beets is roasted and finished with a vinaigrette. I used the components of a lemon-Dijon dressing to flavor the beets as they cooked, resulting in tangy, mustardy, tender fuchsia bites. These would make a great winter side dish,...
