food, glorious food

Thanksgiving was warm here ~ in the 70s! We had a fantastic meal at my parents house last night and happy to report the leftovers have already been opened even though after that big a meal, one would think they could never eat again. Ever. It's still in the 70s today and doesn't quite weather-feel like the start of the Christmas season but I've started putting away the Fall things already, cleaning house, and bringing out a touch of red and green anyway.

If you click these, you will be taken to their recipes ~ each were delicious!!
Pumpkin Pie Dip
Served with ginger thins, mini nilla wafers, wheat thins, and apple slices
Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip

I could not stop eating this! Lordy, it is amazing. Didn't add the jalapeno pepper because it was kicked up just right - I'm making it again for Christmas!
Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

Sooooooooo creamy and good.


Mom made this absolutely fabulous pecan pie ~ she said the recipe was on the Karo syrup label; I found it online HERE. She used Light instead of the Dark syrup - this pie was an out of body experience kinda good!


My brother and his fiance's dogs, Hazel and Sophie, came as well and thoroughly enjoyed the turkey! It was priceless watching them sit by the table for their portions :)

Awww, what cute pups! Everything looks delicious! I'm glad to hear the thumbs up on the cranberry dip. I wanted to try it but when I mentioned it to the family, everybody thought it sounded gross. I'm going to try it for Christmas if I can rustle up some fresh cranberries!
