Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving turned out to be a success, the 2 turkey’s were a hit at the dinner table and we cleaned one of them to the bone.   I bought two different Turkey’s one of them Orangic and Brinned- and that one turned out to be our favorite.   I found a pretty awesome simple recipe…

Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler with Pumpkin Ice Cream

The thing about Thanksgiving dinner is you don’t want it to be a disaster and while making this today I kept thinking, “Oh No..” this isn’t right, the flour isn’t coming together this is too thick, I made it exactly per food blogger Lauren’s Latest measurements but my consistency was off.  So out of desperation…

Butternut Squash, Lentil and roasted Cauliflower Soup

Chicken with Champagne and 40 Cloves of Garlic

As I was rushing around this morning grabbing last minute things before dashing out the door I run back in for my purse with the Costco magazine folded to a recipe right on top.  All I can think is…..do I really want to make a dish that has 40 cloves of garlic in it?   It makes…
