Honey Maple Turkey Breast
Hosting a smaller crowd for Thanksgiving? Not a fan of dark meat? Make this Honey Maple Turkey Breast instead of a full turkey. A five-pound turkey breast will serve at least 6-8 people, and it is so much easier to prepare and serve (and store in your fridge). And don’t worry, you can still make (read more)
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite fall foods. I usually prepare sweet potatoes by peeling and roasting them, or by simply baking them, but this recipe for mashed sweet potatoes is even better than those options. Sweet potatoes are peeled and boiled, mashed, and flavored with maple syrup, browned butter, salt, and a touch (read more)
Gold and White Thanksgiving Tablescape
While eating the meal is my favorite part of Thanksgiving, I do look forward to designing a new tablescape each year. This year I put together a Gold and White Thanksgiving Tablescape. The place settings and decor was all either white or gold and the florals provided additional pops of color. I mixed and matched items (read more)
The Most Delicious Thanksgiving Corn Recipe
You will probably go back a third helping of this Thanksgiving Corn. Fresh corn is sliced off the cob and cooked with bell peppers and seasoned with cream cheese, paprika, and chili powder.

Dill Cottage Cheese Rolls
My Mom has a collection of well-loved cookbooks. Their pages are wrinkled and browned, and covered in handwritten notes and perhaps a bit of food. Some of the cookbooks were written by chefs that were famous in the 70s and 80s. Some are incredibly random. I can’t tell you how my mother got her hands (read more)
Chocolate Walnut Pie – The Easiest Pie Recipe
What would Thanksgiving be without pie?! I am one of those people who thinks that pie is superior to cake, and I love how pie takes center stage on Thanksgiving. I believe that you need to serve at least two pies on Thanksgiving and that one needs to be a fruit pie (like apple or (read more)
Alouette, Prosciutto, and Asparagus Roll Ups
This appetizer recipe is so simple that anyone can make it. Slices of prosciutto are spread with alouette cheese – a soft creamy garlic and herb cheese, and then wrapped around stalks of asparagus and roasted. It’s one of those flavor combinations that works perfectly. You can serve this as a side dish or an appetizer. (read more)
Apple Tarts
Charles isn’t really into desserts, but he loves apple desserts, so during the fall I make a point to prepare a variety of apple treats. This year I kicked off my seasonal baking with Apple Tarts. They are made with store-bought puff pastry, but Charles thought that I had made it from scratch. My husband (read more)
