Salad in a Jar

Are you a pie person, cake person, or cookie person?

On Thanksgiving, I'm a pie person.

For that one day, or however long it takes to eat the leftovers or throw them away, I'm going to enjoy treating myself.

If you have designs on making a pie in the next couple of weeks, check out my collection of pie recipes, especially my Brown Butter Pecan Pie. It is rich, of course. But there's something about the brown butter that elevates the pecans instead of letting the sweetness steal the show. Add a drizzle of chocolate for maximum decadence, or skip it.

To my homemade yogurt makers: Don't miss the yogurt pie crust recipe. It’s another way to put your yogurt to work, this time in a flaky, buttery crust.

“OMG this was sooooooooo good. I am now in love with browned butter. It adds such a nice flavor to pecan pie. I was worried about it not setting properly or that it would be runny. I made it this Thanksgiving and it came out perfect. The flavor is so nice. Thank you for sharing this.”—TASHA

If you have kids or grandkids in the house who want to help in the kitchen, this cookie recipe has become a Thanksgiving tradition at our house. Like a bowl of peanut M&M's, these bite-sized frosted cookies will mysteriously disappear as the day progresses.

Are you thinking about your Thanksgiving meal yet? My daughter-in-law has already sent the whole family beautiful invitations to Thanksgiving at her house. Wow! That is the definition of planning ahead. I love her for that...and also for hosting this year. 🤗 A question I hear often before Thanksgiving: Can I substitute all-purpose flour for bread flour and vice versa when making bread?
