Apple Crisp with Pumpkin Pie Spice
This recipe is inspired by the apple crisp in Sam Sifton's Thanksgiving - How To Cook It Well. Fruit crisps are a favorite in my kitchen because they're quick to make and fun to adapt. Mr. Sifton also appreciates the flexible nature of crisps and says that 'on Thanksgiving, only apples are appropriate'. We agree with Mr. Sifton and took this seasonal variety one step further by adding our Pumpkin Pie Spice.
Greek Baklava - Our Family's Recipe
Sweet, nutty, and flaky... The perfect dessert. Okay, we are a bit biased, but we haven't met anyone who doesn't love this recipe! It was passed down from our Great Great Grandma (Yaya) who was from Gythion, Greece. She passed it down to our Great Aunt Sylvia (who tweaked it slightly), then to our Aunt Adrienne (who tweaked it slightly again). Our Aunt Adrienne showed us how to layer this perfect pastry, and we are so excited to share the recipe wth you.
Maple Cranberry Gingerbread
Festive Maple Cranberry Gingerbread is a beautiful and delicious addition to your holiday table.
Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake
We love Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake. This recipe in particular is great because it is super light and fluffy, and it's not overly sweet... A great crowd pleaser for Thanksgiving that you can make ahead of time.
East-West Ginger Cake with Cardamom Cream
This cake is perfect for the Holidays. The blend of warming spices, along with the cardamom cream, provide multiple layers of flavor. It is sure to get rave reviews, especially on chilly winter evenings.
Pumpkin Spice French Toast
I'm a huge fan of anything and everything pumpkin. After enjoying a pumpkin pie (obviously), many (and I mean many) pumpkin spice lattes and even some pumpkin flavored ice cream, I needed a new recipe to enjoy. Then I came up with this gem!
Carrot Cake with Maple-Cream Cheese Frosting
We make this cake every Thanksgiving and every year we wonder why we only make it once a year. It is absolutely delicious. Hands down the best carrot cake we have ever tried. The cake has a beautiful bright orange color, the cinnamon and ginger make it super flavorful, and it maintains a lovely moist texture.
