When I first read this recipe, I didn’t understand what the instructions meant, but once I started performing the actions, they made perfect sense. These rolls were light and wonderful, a perfect complement to our Thanksgiving feast, or any feast for that matter!
Old Fashioned Pecan Pie
I love pecan pie. It is absolutely one of my favorite pies. This was the first time I made this particular recipe and I loved it. It’s easy, few ingredients, and tastes fantastic.
Fresh Pumpkin Pie
Ever since the first time I used a fresh pumpkin, I’ve much preferred that over canned pumpkin. This pie turned out beautifully and cooked perfectly. I used whole wheat flour and coconut oil to make the crust.
Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecans
The original recipe calls for the potatoes to be mixed up to a point, then topped with a streusel-type topping made with pecans. I was in a hurry, dumped it all in together, and threw some mini marshmallows on top instead. It was really good, but here are the correct instructions, with my version in the notes.
Roasting the Perfect Turkey
Roasting a turkey may seem like a daunting task, but it’s really not that difficult. It’s just a matter of making sure it’s cooked all the way, and making sure you don’t over-cook it. Under-cooked turkey is a health hazard, and over-cooked turkey can be dry.
Fresh Cranberry Sauce
I do not enjoy eating turkey without cranberry sauce. It’s just part of that whole dinner to me. Once I tasted cranberry sauce made with fresh cranberries, I just can’t imagine going back to the canned kind. The orange in it cuts the tartness of the berries perfectly.
Savory Cornbread Dressing
Until I made this recipe, I had never made any kind of stuffing or dressing before, other than Stove Top. Working at the soup kitchen, I had seen the head cook there make it a few times, so I consulted her on how to make it on a scaled-down version. I was really pleased with the results.
Wonderful Chewy Kiss-Filled Brownies
These were amazing. I got the recipe from the back of the Hershey’s Mini Kisses package, changed it to whole wheat flour, and bumped up the salt some. I took them to a church potluck, and a friend tasted them and requested them for the upcoming youth convention trip. They were a huge hit.
Easy Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
My children love ranch dressing. I keep a jar in my refrigerator to put in Kaylee’s lunches with carrot sticks, a snack for the boys with cucumber slices, or for salads at dinner time. I played with the spices and seasonings until I got it just right for my family.
Stacy’s Pumpkin Rolls
I worked a bake sale and everyone asked for pumpkin rolls, so I asked my readers for recipes, and my friend Stacy posted this one. It was so much easier than I anticipated, and the result was simply divine. The filling was so light and creamy it was hard to resist just sitting down with a spoon and eating it straight out of the bowl.
