With temperatures dropping and holidays approaching, I find myself spending more and more time in the kitchen. This week, I’ll be whipping up a couple of pies for Thanksgiving with my in-laws. My favorite is this gingered pumpkin pie recipe that I found several years ago, but I couldn’t possibly have Thanksgiving without at least attempting to recreate my mom’s pecan pie as well.
The other item I absolutely must have on Thanksgiving is Yams Mousseline, a somewhat more sophisticated sweet-potato casserole. If I feel really industrious, I may also make some cranberry bread beforehand. I found some “fresh from the bog” cranberries at Fresh Market the other day, and need a good excuse to use them. That said, feel free to share what you’ll be bringing to the table in the comment section. Happy Thanksgiving!
mmmm... can't have Thanksgiving w/out mashed potatoes. Also going to try and make this Cranberry-Clementine Sauce I saw in Domino magazine.

I'm contributing to Thanksgiving dinner for the first time this year. My mom usually dominates the kitchen, but she finally asked for my help. I'll be providing a delicious pumpkin pecan pie (it's my grandmother's recipe). I can't wait until I have my own family so that I can cook the entire meal! Seriously. I love to cook!
I might have to try your ginger pumpkin pie recipe next year, Audra.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
