Bryan won’t let me get through a Thanksgiving without making this pie…and he usually finishes it in a day or two!

I’m pretty particular about my pumpkin pie. It can’t be store bought. I’ve had lots of different kinds, but I always come back to this one - which is straight off the label on the back of the can. Nothing beats it!

I always have to double these…at least. They are pretty much everyone’s favorite part of Thanksgiving. What makes them unique is when you take them out of the oven, you brush them with butter, then sprinkle them with coarse salt. The salt makes them HEAVENLY.

Remember back when turkeys took HOURS to cook, and you had to baste them over and over if you didn’t want dried out meat? Not with a steam oven. I was skeptical last Thanksgiving when we went to cook a turkey for the first time using this new oven. The recipe said 1 1/2 hours until done. They weren’t lying! And the meat was SO tender and juicy…

These are SERIOUSLY just like the ones at the mall. You know how with other cinnamon rolls, you tend to just eat the middle (i.e. the best part)? With these...the whole THING is like that. My kids actually think these are better than the mall ones. You can decide.

You’ll seriously never need another recipe. Best one. Hands down. The secret magic ingredient?….White Balsamic Vinegar. Vinegar in ice cream you say? Yes. It brightens the strawberry flavor and you don’t taste vinegar at all. Who’d have guessed?

This is a totally easy recipe, and SO, SO, GOOD! You have several flavor combination possibilities here…white chocolate chips with Orange oil for a "creamsicle" flavor…or Orange oil with regular chocolate chips for a chocolate oranges vibe. With Peppermint oil, either the white chocolate or the regular chocolate would be yummy!

I've been a fan of "energy balls" for awhile. It probably stems from my love of eating raw cookie dough...yum! These remind me of cookie dough, but are actually good for you!

My dad has perfected his clam chowder recipe over the years. I have never tasted any that could top his. Give it a try - IT’S SERIOUSLY THE BEST! He uses it for their traditional Christmas Eve dinner, along with yummy rolls for dipping!

So, so simple. Roasting brings out the sweetness of the asparagus and caramelizes the exterior.

From Robin Miller. This is an excellent side for roasted meat dishes (chicken, pork, veal, beef) and is also tasty alongside eggs.

In this simple dish, green beans are livened up with sesame, garlic, coconut aminos, and ginger for an Asian-inspired winner. You can give most any vegetables this treatment with delicious results.

This is a go-to weeknight meal. I like to serve the tenderloin with Soy-Sesame Green Beans with Ginger (see "Sides") and roasted new red or gold potatoes (pop halved small potatoes alongside the pork and they'll be ready when the pork is).

This dish is so elegant looking, you could easily serve it to guests. Not that your family doesn't deserve elegance, I just mean it's gorgeous! Red bell peppers are sweet and wonderful and the perfect color contrast for the white-fleshed fish. You can stuff the peppers in advance (up to 3 days) and bake them just before serving.

How can something so white taste so wonderful? It's called Parmesan cheese! We go through tons of the stuff in my house and vegetables are no exception. In this dish, I parboil the cauliflower first to get a jump-start on the cooking time. Not a cauliflower fan? This coating works with virtually all vegetables.

Brussels sprouts with bacon…so GOOD!
