So Thanksgiving is over. You've feasted and indulged and slept it off. And chances are you have some leftovers in the fridge to last throughout the long weekend. Back to reality, sort of, but not yet. Perhaps just a bit more indulgence before heading back to real life on Monday.

Savory Butternut Squash Bread Pudding
When it comes to Thanksgiving foods, I tend to favor tradition. There's comfort in the familiar and expected. However, what exactly constitutes traditional and familiar is different in every family and culture. In my house, we prefer butternut squash over the better known sweet potato side dish and so that is the flavor we expect.

Salted Caramel Apple Pie
Apple pie is a Thanksgiving tradition in my house. And Thanksgiving foods are, after all, about tradition. So while I'm not willing to forgo this familiar treat, I've been known to mess with it a little over the years. Last year I did away with the top crust altogether in favor of a peanut butter crumb topping. And I don't recall hearing any complaints about it, either.

Thirsty Thursdays: The Maple Leaf
The Maple Leaf |
Per Serving:
2 1/2 oz. Bourbon
1 oz. Maple syrup
1 oz. Lemon juice
1 Dash of Angostura Bitters
2 Sprigs fresh Thyme
Combine the bourbon, maple syrup, lemon juice, bitters and the leaves from the thyme sprigs in a cocktail shaker. Muddle the thyme a bit, fill with ice and shake well. You can serve this straight up or on the rocks to tame down the strength a bit.

Homemade Za'atar Pita Chips and Quick Labneh Dip
If you follow me on Instagram (and if you're not, why aren't you??) then you know that my tag line says "currently sprinkling za'atar on everything." I'm obsessed with it and with labneh (strained Greek yogurt cheese) too.

Roasted Autumn Vegetable Pot Pie
What are your cold weather comfort foods? I have a few but pot pies are high on the list because they're fully enclosed comfort. I don't have to make side dishes for a roast or add bread or croutons to a hot soup. Here the hot, creamy, comforting filling is wrapped with delicious pastry dough and served in my own individual portion. Just tuck me into bed with a good movie and this is cold night dinner heaven.

Maple Walnut Shortbread Cookies
Cookie Week is in full swing and I'm back today with another of my favorite cookie treats. Despite my love of chocolate and my obsession with peanut butter, my all time favorite type of cookie is shortbread. Thick, crumbly, buttery and not overly sweet. Just pour me a cup of tea alongside a good stack of them and I'm a happy woman.
