T-time.

How do, Kids! Well, you couldn't possibly have expected me to try and maneuver around the topic of food at this time of the year. Honestly, it's a wonder I don't post about it all the time. But Thanksgiving gets me going...big time! I think it's, generally speaking, a pretty comforting and low-key holiday. You can go grand or casual and still feel that little something extra on the day. Yeah, I like it...a lot!

To be clear, I do not receive any financial kickbacks whatsoever from Gourmet Magazine. I know I throw them up a fair amount of the time but it is for GOOD reason! I cannot ever imagine letting my subscription subside since my friend Devon got me hooked. (An excellent holiday gift idea for the foodie friend or family member!) It is my ultimate go to. So I am here to link you up with some of their amazing Thanksgiving recipes and menus in case you need a little help or inspiration for your Thanksgiving feast.

While I left my Vegetarian/Vegan days behind me some years ago there are some wonderful sounding Vegetarian Thanksgiving menus and recipes. Like this Roasted Pumpkin Stuffed with Vegetable Stew.

As a switch-it-up side dish or Vegetarian main course... Butternut Squash and Hazelnut Lasagne

Chestnut, Prune, & Pancetta Stuffing


Arugula, Bacon, and Gruyère Bread Pudding


Creamed Leeks


Orange Pudding Cake

(And don't forget to scroll down for links to a slough of different pie recipes and ideas!)

Whatever you end up serving at your Thanksgiving table this year I hope that it is a splendid day shared with family and friends, Kids. I know I have much to be thankful for this year...including you, my faithful and wonderful readers, for your loyalty, kindness, and patience. Your Uncle wishes you well this holiday!

"HAPPY THANKSGIVING!"

(I will be signing off, I'm pretty sure, until after the holiday, Kids. You all know I got a lot of irons in the fire and it's only gonna get hotter in the coming days. But don't worry, I'll be back soon!)
