Cranberry Apple Salad
Tart, sweet and crunchy, cranberry apple salad uses raw cranberries with apples and nuts. Jell-O binds everything together for a delicious Thanksgiving side dish. And, this is a recipe that does not require cooking as so many Thanksgiving recipes do.Thanksgiving Brunch and Dinner
We started our day at our daughter, Jamie’s for a delicious Thanksgiving brunch and playtime with the kids.
Succotash
Succotash? Do you say, yes please or eww. I can relate. You either love it or hate it. I went from yuck to yum. I inherited my love of succotash from my dad.
Orange Whipped Sweet Potatoes
I love sweet potatoes just about any way they can be made. Candied sweet potatoes are always a highlight at the Thanksgiving table. I think a sweet potato simply baked in its jacket until the sugars ooze out of the cuts then topped with butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper is very close to perfect. But I really like Orange Whipped Sweet Potatoes for its orange flavor. Continue Reading
Autumn Leaf Spritz Cookies
Colorful, autumn leaf Spritz cookies are pretty on the dessert table for the autumn season. Spritz cookies are easy to make using a cookie press. They are buttery, tender and not overly sweet.
Just combine the ingredients, fill cookie sheet with dough from a cookie press, sprinkle with colored sugar and bake. We ate some and the rest are packed in air-tight containers in the freezer.
Pilgrim and Indian Centerpiece for Thanksgiving Table
I gathered together a few pieces to create a Pilgrim and Indian centerpiece to brighten our kitchen table. A squash-shaped soup tureen on an oval serving plate with a couple of tiny orange pumpkins and a set of hand painted wooden figures purchased years ago from a craft fair.
Cranberry Shortbread
For sure apple pie and pumpkin pie are stars each Thanksgiving. But why not try something new and different. Autumn is when cranberries are harvested. Those bright red, tart little berries are what make this cranberry shortbread so incredibly delicious.Continue ReadingCaramel Pumpkin Pie
Caramel Pumpkin Pie is the recipe we are all making with the group Tuesdays with Dorie.
This recipe begins by browning sugar over medium-high heat until melted. I stopped short of cooking as long as the directions suggested. Heavy cream is then added to the hot syrup and stirred until smooth to make caramel. I did have a piece that did not melt back and I just lifted it out before proceeding.
Thanksgiving Day Memories with Breakfast and Dinner
This beautiful buffet was prepared by our dear son-in-law, Josh. He’s not only a whiz behind a computer but also behind a grill pan. This yummy pumpkin pancake breakfast is becoming his trademark and much enjoyed as we watched on TV, the balloon floats and marching bands in the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Lots of snugglin’ with grandbabies! Also spent a little time looking at the tiny baby girl ensemble that awaits a new arrival due in just a couple of weeks.Continue Reading
