Happy Thanksgiving

Photo via here

Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving and the coziest of weekends as we officially enter the festive season! This is one of my favorite holidays and I love how it kicks off the Christmas season. I would normally be cooking this week and setting the table, but instead have been on "baby watch." Yesterday my new granddaughter arrived and I am over the moon! I am now a grandmother and have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.      

Go here for an inspiring article in The New York Times on setting your Thanksgiving table. 
And here for a fantastic Cranberry-Pear Tart in a Walnut Shortbread Crust that would work for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I love this quote from Laurie Colwin:

"The table is a meeting place, a gathering ground, the source of sustenance and nourishment, festivity, safety, and satisfaction. A person cooking is a person giving: Even the simplest food is a gift."

Have the happiest of holidays! See you back here next week.
