Pure Maple Pecan Pie, a sweet, deep flavor of maple syrup complementing the richness of pecans in a classic pecan pie. Perfect for any Thanksgiving meal! Pecan Pie is Jim's favorite pie any time of the year, but definitely around Thanksgiving. This past week I made a Pear Dumplings Cobbler and had enough pie dough left to form a single pie crust. So I decided I would make a pecan pie for Jim since he loves them so, but when I got ready to make it, I didn't have quite enough corn syrup to make one. But I did have some maple syrup. The maple syrup sounded so good, but Jim is the same old...same old classic pecan pie kind of guy. He doesn't like me to change his likes too much. So I decided to surprise him with an Old Fashioned Pure Maple Pecan Pie.

His and Her Sweet Potato Casserole
His and Her Sweet Potato Casserole, two Thanksgiving traditions come together, toasted marshmallows and pecan crumble toppings blanketing creamy smooth sweet potatoes. Scrumptious!! His and Her Sweet Potato Casserole is the perfect sweet potato dish. We have half of our family that likes the marshmallow topping and half that like the crumble topping, so last year, I came up with the idea to serve one dish with two variations. It was such a hit that I decided to make it again this year.

Roasted Cinnamon Buttery Pears
Roasted Cinnamon Buttery Pears, simple dish showcasing the straightforward flavor of pears. They are buttery slightly sweet served as an accompaniment to pork, garnished in a winter salad, but also makes an elegant dessert for a fall dinner party, bridal brunch and quick weeknight snack. Pears rarely get center stage over apples and pumpkins in the fall, but for me, they sing fall. Roasting fruit is a purist way to dress up fruit for dessert or accompaniment to other dishes. As much as I like pears, I do not wish to mask the pure flavor of the pear with a lot of other intense flavors. When I eat pears, I want to taste pears.

Exceptional Squash Casserole
Exceptional Squash Casserole, tender yellow squash in a creamy, rich sauce, topped with buttery crackers. A must for holidays, bring it to a potluck and sit back and smile hearing all the yummy comments. We have been eating this squash casserole recipe like mad this summer. I made the squash casserole for Labor Day, and we devoured it. The flavor of the squash is straightforward. Just delightful! Summer squash is so plentiful this time of the year with having so many local farmers. That is what I love about the little grocery store in my small town. They stock fresh vegetables from our local farmers. I buy all my fresh tomatoes , green tomatoes , cucumbers , eggplant , okra , squash , and zucchini from them while they still offer them.

Chili Cheese Hot Dog Bubble Up Bake
Chili Cheese Hot Dog Bubble Up Bake, buttery cut up pillows of dough and bite size hot dogs layered together with creamy, gooey cheese and chili with beans. Garnish with your favorite condiments, and you have America's classic Friday night football food rolled up in a casserole. When my children were in school, Friday Nights were hot dog nights. We had to be back up at the school soon after they came home, so that meant supper had to be something quick to eat much less quick to make. Most Friday nights we ate Baked Hot Dogs just like I use to eat on Friday nights when I was in high school. Hot dogs are classic and preparing them ready to grab and go is the perfect food for our game night. Chili Cheese Hot Dog Bubble Up has four main ingredients plus the ingredients for garnishing. My children growing up this Chili Cheese Hot Dog Bubble Up bake would have been a huge hit.
