the ultimate turkey
People often groan at the thought of eating leftover turkey for a week…we look forward to it. Our turkey, roasted in an oven bag, not only cooks in half the time of traditional recipes but also has twice the moistness and flavor. The gravy is smooth and rich, the stuffing is sweet and savory and the cranberry sauce is perfection – finally a feast we can be thankful for year-round.
eggplant & butternut squash bruschetta
We all know what not to bring a hostess: fresh-cut flowers, a bathroom scale, a re-gifted plastic pink flamingo. However, as the hostess, do you know what, apart from refills, you can give your guests? How about that welcoming, warm-and-fuzzy feeling that comes with delicious eats? This bruschetta will do all the work for you. Crusty French bread is rubbed with garlic, toasted and then topped with smooth, creamy ricotta and a chunky mixture of caramelized eggplant and butternut squash. Easily prepared in advance and assembled just before guests arrive, nothing says "gracious gourmet" more than a tray of these tasty bruschetta.
roasted sweet potato, parsnip & apple soup
How do you pump up the flavor in your soup? Roast the vegetables, as evidenced in this extremely easy and tasty Sweet Potato, Parsnip & Apple Soup.

pomegranate, apple & pear salad

the best sweet & savory stuffing
We don't stuff our turkey for a number of reasons, including that we cook our turkey in an oven bag (so moist, so delicious) and we also aren't fans of cross contamination. That said, we still serve up the finest and tastiest of stuffings, as evidenced by this recipe for a chunky bread, herb and cranberry stuffing. Get stuffed!
