It has occurred to me that I'd said over at NottaLotta Acres that I would launch this blog by first posting our Thanksgiving feast recipes, and while I made a respectable beginning with Cream Cheese Corn, I also wasted no time at all switching to desserts. Can you tell what foods I deem important, what came to mind first?

Yes, we do have the thusfar posted pies, pastries, cookies, and candies during our annual, several-day feast. We also, though, have a mealtime spread which includes foods that aren't screaming CARBOHYDRATE. We sneak a little protein onto the table with a honkin' big turkey (or two) and even flick a green veggie into the mix. Will I get to claim the apples and cranberries as fruits, even after I've mixed them with marshmallows, sugar, and whipped cream?

When I realized the sweets were stacking high in the sidebar, it mildly cracked me up. And I thought I should just go ahead and put my own words to the obvious: she's a carb junkie. There will, however, come recipes which can make a respectable stand on the dinner table. Don't be surprised, though, if the number of them pales in comparison with the sweets.
