Pilgrims Pie

The day after Thanksgiving has become just as popular in my home as the actual event.   Instead of trying to find room for all of the leftovers and heating them up individually, how about layering them all together into a wonderful "pot pie" like dish.  Use whatever you have in the fridge (turkey, stuffing potatoes, veggies, gravy and even cranberry sauce) and no additional ingredients are needed (unless you do what I did this year and put a pie crust in between the Thanksgiving layers.  I can now see the back of my fridge again.  Thank you Jessica Collins for such a lovely idea, Indulge!

Nans Cornbread Dressing with Fresh Herbs and Smoked Oysters

My grandmother made the most amazing dressing.  Every holiday is was a staple at her house.  Now that she is gone, my beautiful Mom is keeping up the tradition of always making it for everyone to enjoy and remembering her loving spirit.  This year I decided to change it up a bit by adding smoked oysters.  I have always wanted to try Oyster dressing or stuffing and because we didn't have the kids this Thanksgiving I was going to give it a try.  I absolutely loved it and think the oysters gave it such a smokey unique flavor.   Now of course if you don't like oysters, like my Mom :), please feel free to leave them out.  My grandmother's original recipe does not include the fresh herbs, but I think it adds so much to it.  Indulge!

Bourbon Cranberry Sauce

This is such a lovely recipe and so easy to make.  I was one of those who always would be the canned cranberry sauce, but after trying this I will never buy canned again.  You can always leave the bourbon out or add it before cooking to make sure the alcohol cooks out.  Indulge!

Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake

Happy Thanksgiving!  One of my favorite times of the year had come and gone.  One of my most request recipes in my Pumpkin cake.  I have made this for several years now and decided to tweak it a bit.  Normally I would use sour cream which always keeps it so moist.  This year however, I wanted to try switching the sour cream for this vanilla honey Greek yogurt that I absolutely love.  I think I made a wonderful choice.  The yogurt took it to another level.  I hope you enjoy it as much as my family.  Indulge!
