Alex shows us a little chef-y secret for steamed fresh fish that requires a leap of faith. Branzino is drizzled with olive oil, herbs, and lemon. Then, it's wrapped in a little aluminum packet and baked in the oven. She tops the freshly steamed fish with a creamy garlic aioli sauce. Paired with a simple green bean salad this meal screams freshness. For dessert, Alex bakes an apple crisp with the perfect balance of apple to crispy topping. This apple crisp is like one giant corner.
Alex celebrates an early Thanksgiving with some of her close friends. Alex grew up with some serious family traditions and this sugar cranberry pie is one of them. It's made with a flaky homemade crust and tangy cranberry filling, then topped with a sprinkle of sugar. The centerpiece, a golden turkey, is paired with a sourdough bread and spicy sausage stuffing. Plus, a stovetop green bean casserole that is topped with fried shallots. It's a Thanksgiving filled with family traditions and some new additions.
