Pumpkin Pie

The week of Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. The anticipation of the delicious meal that hours of time have been devoted to. The smells of cinnamon, turkey and toasting marshmallows dancing in the air. Uncle Jim's marinated vegetables, Grandma's stuffing, Great-Grandma's Macintosh apples, olives on our fingers...  Playing games while enjoying Aunt Wanda's fruit pies and Mom's pumpkin pie with coffee. Waking up in the morning to hurry and have another piece of pie...

Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes

I love the foods of fall, I would almost go out on a limb and state them as my favorite.. But, unless grilled steak can be classified as a fall food, I'm completely torn. Anyways, the below recipe is from a family friend and is a Thanksgiving table favorite for the Russ family. And I could totally go for one right now, a cold dreary day is easily defended by sage alone.

Thanks Patti!

A week of culinary smiles.

My kitchen hasn't been very abuzz this last week, I don't even know where this last week went. However, there have been several culinary delights in my life the last week.
