To opt out of seasonal/holiday emails, click here. Hi Reader, I love re-grouping after a big holiday to see which recipes on Iowa Girl Eats were the most visited and commented on. Sometimes I'm surprised, though often I'm not. That said, want to know which two dessert recipes were the most popular on Thanksgiving last year? It's probably not a surprise that my ultra-cozy and perfectly-sweet Classic Apple Crisp came in at top spot. What was surprising, at least to me, is that my Classic Dirt...

To opt out of seasonal/holiday emails, click here. Hi Reader, While we may not agree on the importance of cranberry sauce or green bean casserole on the Thanksgiving dinner table, I think we probably align on the fact that Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving unless there's Mashed Potatoes and Gravy involved. They're iconic, and I've got delicious, gluten free recipes for both! Healthy Mashed Potatoes First is my Healthy Mashed Potatoes. What makes these potatoes a little healthier than...

Hi Reader, A friend recently shared with me that she'd made a delicious dish from another website for lunch and, while it was incredible and worth the effort, the prep time was WAY longer than what was listed on the recipe. I felt that because, despite our best efforts, sometimes us recipe creators can be a little off in this area because folks chop at different rates, some might like to fully prep ahead of time before starting to heat up pasta cooking water, etc. Either way, I know it can be...

To opt out of free weekly meal plans, click here. Hi Reader, We took our Halloween decorations down on Monday and I'm savoring the clean space with a few fall decor touches before lugging out the Christmas bins sometime over the next couple of weeks. I recently ordered these (the GINGERBREAD HOUSES? Screaming.) and am waiting on pins and needles for them to arrive. I think I'll have our Christmas elf decorate the kitchen with them when they arrive on December 1st! 😉 All that said, the month...

Hi Reader, As a recipe creator, there's a certain pressure to create show-stopping dinner recipes to share each week, so I almost don't post dishes that are super simple, yet make my life (and hopefully yours) easier. One of those recipes is Air Fryer Green Beans. We eat a ton of green beans at my house since all five of us love them, and Air Frying has become our favorite way to prepare them over the years because they go from fridge to table in 10 minutes — and that's including prep time!...

To opt out of seasonal/holiday emails, click here. Hi Reader, Yesterday one of my kids asked me what holiday is next, and when I said Thanksgiving, they actually said, "awww" with a little slump of their shoulders. 😂 Listen I get it — compared to the fun of Halloween and festiveness of Christmas, Thanksgiving can feel a little meh to a child! As for me, I'll be counting down the days to the big meal, and enjoying a preview of its delicious flavors, with a Holiday Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I...
