Thankful for... Pie!

This year the husband and I are celebrating at home - and doing it right! We picked out recipes last night and split up our duties... he's in charge of the turkey (involves an entire bottle of champagne), homemade cranberry sauce, garlicy green beans, and mashed potatoes-- while I'll be doing homemade dinner rolls, traditional pumpkin pie, and an apple/sausage dressing. 

We are, on average, recipe-getters from the net. It's easy and relatively fool-proof when you can see reviews and ideas. And yet, we have some really lovely cookbooks. This Thanksgiving I decided that I would capitalize on our recipe resources. I am making the pumpkin pie and dressing a la The Silver Palate, a cookbook I grew up seeing in my mom's cookbook cupboard. Yum -- can't wait to share how it goes!

No matter how you celebrate Thanksgiving ( or did last month!), I hope it's warm, tasty, and filled with laughter!
