Brown Butter Pumpkin Cheesecake with Pecan Caramel

Ultra creamy, packed with pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, brown sugar and has some brown butter to really bring out the toasty flavor and an even creamier texture. Plus - a pumpkin spice pecan caramel on top!

Brown Butter Cheesecake

The most popular cheesecake recipe on the blog - for good reason! It’s got freshly scraped vanilla bean, bits of nutty brown butter and is crazy creamy.

atop every pumpkin pie shall be

Apple Cider Meringue

This is my favorite meringue ever: it’s made with fresh cider and cinnamon and tastes like everything delicious, warm and tart about fall. Lots of pies it can go on top of, but my favorite application for it is atop a pumpkin pie.

TJ’s still has pumpkin ice cream!

Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie

Crushed sugar cones for the crust, a caramel at the bottom, pumpkin ice cream (store-bought but you can make your own if you want) and a staggering meringue on top.

gotta throw in something savory

Sourdough Olive Oil Dinner Rolls

These were a big hit last year and I’ll be making them for us again: super soft dinner rolls with the wonderful flavor of sourdough, laced with olive oil and sea salt.

Pie crust recipes for your upcoming holiday: plain, brown butter, chocolate.
This is the ice cream to serve with apple pie: vanilla brown butter. Could there be a more perfect match? Well maybe this apple cider caramel ice cream but the former goes with everything.
On tracing back origins of thanksgiving foods: ‘…. much of what is eaten at Thanksgiving today came from Mexico and South America. “We can trace many of these foods up through the southwestern United States into other parts of the country,” he said. “Most likely this diffusion happened as a result of trading or other contact among American Indian tribes in this country.” - Smithsonian.
On dealing with body shaming during family & food gatherings: ‘ “Anything that moralizes weight or food behaviors or body shape or size has a way of causing harm,”… Family members might mention their own choices, such as, “I’m being good, so I’m skipping the pie.” But that sends a powerful message: “Morality is attached to body shape, size, and food and eating behaviors.”….' - Washington Post.
Me and my girls don’t love turkey so we usually do chicken, though I haven’t yet decided which recipe we’ll use. I made this zaatar chicken over the weekend when we hosted some friends and it was lovely. What I do know: there will be bread rolls, a cheesecake, lots of pomegranate and, it’s been forever since I made one, so I want to do a pumpkin pie (KAF’s recipe is usually my go to).
If you celebrate T-day, I hope you have a wonderful day and meal with your loved ones. If it isn’t a great experience, I recommend getting out of there asap, grabbing leftover dessert on your way out and eating it
by the fire at home in front of a christmas movie ;-)
