Turkey Pot Pie
This is Mama Miche and today in my magic kitchen: Turkey Pot Pie with Gluten-Free Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping
This is how leftovers turn into comfort food.
Tender turkey, homemade gravy, a mix of leftover and frozen veggies, all topped with fluffy gluten-free cheddar bay biscuits instead of a traditional crust.
Golden, cozy, and perfect for using what you already have > The ultimate “newover”
Saffron Crab Risotto ‘25
This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Saffron Crab Risotto.
In the pilot episode of the sitcom, "Mom," Christy insults Chef Rudy by calling the risotto "a big steaming pile of gooey rice." Well, technically, it is, but it's a delicious dish. Golden saffron. Sweet crab. Creamy, slow-stirred perfection.
This risotto is pure luxury in a bowl — elegant, comforting, and absolutely worth the stir. 🦀

Ya Ya’s Sweet Potato Casserole ‘25
This is Mama Miche, and today in My Magic Kitchen: YaYa’s Sweet Potato Casserole
A holiday must-have: Yaya’s Sweet Potato Casserole, baked with love and always devoured. A staple at every Thanksgiving spread my Mom hosted was her sweet potato casserole. The tradition continues in Mama Miche’s Magic Kitchen.
Stuffed Acorn Squash
I love stuffing vegetables with yummy fillings—it looks lovely, and it tastes divine. This roasted acorn squash is no exception! While the squash cooks, you’ll whip up an easy, flavor-packed stuffing with Italian sausage, spinach, sweet piquillo peppers, and rich, melty cheeses. When it all comes together, your taste buds and your belly will be like, “Damn! You love me! You really love me.”
Cheese Blintz Casserole ‘25
This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Cheese Blintz Casserole
This cheese blintz casserole is the perfect comfort meal: simple, satisfying, and delicious. Using store-bought cheese blintzes, a custard of eggs, butter, and sour cream, it bakes into a golden, creamy dish that feels celebratory yet effortless. It’s a classic way to welcome family and friends to the table —and it never fails to disappear quickly.
Peachy Mango Roast Cornish Hens ‘25
This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Peachy Mango Roast Cornish Hens.
Picture this: golden Cornish hens roasting in the oven, kissed with juicy mango, ripe peaches, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of Twice Stolen Spice™. It’s sweet, fragrant, and bursting with flavor. I love welcoming in the New Year with a dish that’s as sweet as honey on your tongue. Make this and make your kitchen magic! MMMK
Smoked Turkey Legs
This is Mama Miche, and today, in my magic kitchen: Smoked Turkey Leg
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time for gathering, reflection, and savoring foods that symbolize hope, sweetness, and strength for the year ahead. While apples dipped in honey may take center stage at the table, a hearty main dish like smoked turkey legs brings depth and celebration to the holiday meal.
Smoking the legs infuses them with a deep, aromatic flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweet and symbolic dishes of the season—think pomegranate-glazed carrots, honey-roasted vegetables, and a golden round challah.
The slow smoking process brings out their natural succulence, making them a centerpiece dish that feels celebratory, comforting, and rooted in tradition—just the way Rosh Hashanah invites us to step forward into the year ahead.
Kimchi Deviled Eggs
This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Kimchi Deviled Eggs
In our homeschool experience, we meet amazing, creative families, and one of them brought kimchi-deviled eggs to a homeschool presentation. They were tasty, and I was inspired to make them.
Zucchini Kugel Muffins
This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Zucchini Kugel Muffins
Passover Seder is a festive celebration of freedom and a symbolic, ritualized meal commemorating the Israelites' liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. We eat specific foods in a structured order of events, including retelling the Exodus story. Behind every single Jewish holiday is this simple mantra, "We fought. We won! Let's eat!" if you know you know, that in a rush to leave Egypt, the Israelites could not wait for bread to rise so nothing leavened is eaten during the week-long commemoration.
