Sheetpan Short Rib Nachos

Superbowl Sunday is just around the corner and one of my favorite football-watching foods has always been nachos! When it comes to nachos, the more toppings, the better! These sheetpan nachos have it all: shredded shortribs, peppers, black beans, pico and guacamole, plenty of cheese, and they’re topped with a cool + tangy lime cilantro crema. We used short ribs from Kentucky Darling Meats, a local father-daughter duo who raises antibiotic-free beef that is pasture raised and grain finished in Stanford, Kentucky. They were so kind to gift us with a meat bundle and we have been so impressed with how good all the beef has been! They have tons of beef + meat bundles available and they can ship even if you aren’t local (visit their website here for more information)! The short ribs were such a perfect topping for these nachos- they have amazing flavor but also are so fall-apart-tender that they are easy to eat as well.

Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits with Crockpot Apple Butter + Country Ham

There’s nothing more comforting for fall than homemade apple butter and buttermilk biscuits! Add in some country ham, and this unexpected combination is the perfect mix of sweet and salty and such a good autumn breakfast option, snack, or lunch! The apple butter could not be easier to make as you literally just throw everything in the crockpot and let it do all the work! I really worked with the amounts of sugar and spices to get just the right blend so it’s not overly sweet and you can taste the apple flavor even more. I also used this apple butter on my autumn cheeseboard and it was the perfect compliment to both sharp and milder cheeses. I love this biscuit recipe as well because they are perfectly fluffy, just the right amount of salty, and a little crisp on the edges.
