Or rather, Happy Thanksgiving week– since it’s Monday 🙂 Kate is off vacationing, and I’m at home with my kids out of school all week, so we thought we’d leave you with a few of our favorite Thanksgiving dishes today since everyone seems to be in planning mode already.
I’m going to skip all the fancy descriptions and just show you pictures of the things that usually show up on my holiday table. These are my faves! No one minds if we start with dessert first, right? I didn’t think so.
Pumpkin Cheesecake with Pecan-Gingersnap Crust
Layered Pumpkin Pie Toffee Cheesecake
Roasted Garlic-Rosemary Potatoes
Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bundles
Candied Coconut Sweet Potatoes
Pear and Blue Cheese Salad with Candied Pecans
And if you’re on turkey duty this week (wanna know a little secret? I have somehow managed to avoid being on turkey duty for all 32 years of my life! True story.) Definitely check out Kate’s Turkey recipe, along with her other new recipes this year, Creamy Pear Pie and Sausage Cornbread Stuffing.
What are you all doing for Thanksgiving? You know, besides stuffing your bellies… I’m always curious to hear about other people’s traditions- in our house we always follow the big meal with a trip to the movie theater! Kate and I are going to take the rest of the week off, but we’ll be back Monday (or maybe Friday, we’ll see how the week goes 😉 ) We hope you all have a wonderful holiday surrounded by people you love. Eat lots, relax lots, and most importantly, give thanks!
And don’t forget to enter the giveaways we have going on right now on The Scoop. The Silhouette giveaway ends tomorrow (tues) and I am going to announce a winner for the ginormous Smucker’s Basket giveaway at some point today, so hurry and enter that one if you haven’t already!
