But, I don’t want to talk about the weather cause it’s just not nice at this time! Will talk about it when it drops down to the low 60’s.
I am here today to share with you my latest pinspiration for Thanksgiving home decor, recipes and tablescapes!. I am hosting Thanksgiving this year once again and I am super-excited …. and super- nervous because it is creeping up on me {24 days to go}.
A small disclosure before I start sharing this beautiful sight of fall goodness: all images, recipes and ideas via Better Homes and Gardens. Why? Because I think I am going to frame each page of their latest magazine issue. I just LOVE it all. And, no compensation was received for this post. It is all me, for the love of BHG.
Now, let me show you my favorite fall things I am looking forward to replicate this season!
1. THE TABLESCAPE:
– Miniature gourds and pinecones on each guest’s plate : {maybe with an added placecard tied to the pumpkins’ stems!}

– Easy, beautiful tablescape with colorful gourds and pumpkins: What’s not to love here? I will make sure to snap a picture of our table and come back with an update!

2. THE MENU:
How does a Spiced Turkey with Cherry-Pear Glaze sounds to you? Stuffed with lemons and spices and then glazed with sweet cherries and pears? I am in!

I roast and caramelize my vegetables on a regular basis, so this definitely will be on my Thanksgiving table this year. I vow not to buy boxed breadcrumbs and buy fresh sourdough bread. Will give you an update on that! 😉

– The Vegetables:
Brown Butter Brussels Sprouts and Apple: you had me at Brussels Sprouts. We eat them steamed, roasted, baked, pan fried, you name it, we love them!

– Garlicky Crumb-Coated Broccolini: whenever there’s garlic and broccoli, I am in, in a heartbeat!. I am half italian so, this combination is perfect to put the italian touch to our Thanksgiving table. Will miss you dad! 🙁

and last but no least: The Desserts. Yes, plural. I am challenging myself to make these two! I take pride on my home-cooked meals and savory dishes…Baking however, intimidates me. But, I always give it a try and this Thanksgiving won’t be the exception.
– Maple-Pumpkin Pie with Salted-Pecan Brittle: this recipe made the cover of the issue.

and, Baked Apple Bowl Pies: no hassle, individually portioned Apple pies? Yes, please. I am definitely making this one!
