New Twists for the Thanksgiving Table

We have a cornucopia of great holiday ideas and strategies for you! While most Thanksgiving food talk seems to focus on the turkey, we're all about the side dishes this time!

IN THIS ISSUE, we present some new ideas for your Thanksgiving celebration - a different kind of stuffing, a seasonal salsa, and a cake full of autumnal flavors. We explore sweet potatoes, wrangle a squash, and shed some light on how to make great gravy. Welcome to our table!
