A small number of butterscotch haystacks with marshmallows and peanuts on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
My family's tradition every year is to make many different types of cookies to share with our family.
This year we have an early start and froze these two: Oreo truffles and butterscotch haystacks.
I'll add more to this post as we make them.

Cannot say I've ever made a chutney before. It did, however, sound like a good way to incorporate cranberries into my family's Christmas turkey meal later this month and I'm going to use it for a pork roast tomorrow.

Tonight for dinner, I thought I would try my take on vegetable minestrone soup:

A great way to utilize the less-than-perfect produce languishing in the crisper drawer.

Lemon-thyme brined turkey after a roast.
Full Thanksgiving platter (clockwise from top): cranberry sauce, mac and cheese, lemon-thyme brined turkey, purple sweet potato dinner rolls, hashbrown casserole, sausage-leek dressing (center).
Happy Thanksgiving! While I'm thankful to be able to share it with my family don't forget the horrendous genocide that occurred on this continent in order for America to exist in the first place.
My lemon-thyme brined turkey was fabulous: moist and excellent flavor.
