How can you resist??
Pumpkin cheesecake
Maple Cream Pie with gluten free crust
Cranberry Raisin Pie
What I love about this arrangement is the desserts are three different heights so it adds interest to what everyone already knows will be a sweet sensory overload. It also begs the question are they in height order of deliciousness? Only my Thanksgiving guests know the answer. But, really, isn't it a matter of taste?

Even though I had to ask....the troops performed!! My step-daughters, Meredith and Caroline and their Aunt Madeline and Uncle Paul washed, peeled and chopped sweet and regular potatoes in record speed for our Thanksgiving fete.
Paul pitched in with his caramelized onions and Matt performed his magic on the sweet potatoes.

What I love about our Icelandic horses and Icelandic's in general are they are truly the golden retriever of horses. Mild mannered, playful, gentle and cute!! Their winter coats are so thick and soft.
Does any one else love the smell of horses? I think it is distinct and heavenly!!

Want to turn even the staunchest brussels sprout hater into a lover? We'll tell you how and talk brussels sprout today because you may actually eat them a few more times during the holiday/winter season.
My simple approach:
Wash. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Put on a parchment paper lined roasting pan, and roast in upper portion of oven at 400 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes until golden brown.
They get browned, crispy and almost caramelized.
Pop them in your mouth for an unexpected treat!
