Squash is a vegetable that Alex and I love…Sophie not so much. She does like bacon though, and helping make our Bacon Sage Squash Bites. They’re a great pre-dinner appetizer while your guests are waiting for the main course.

If you want to make them yourself, find the recipe here: Bacon Sage Squash Bites Recipe.

This week Alex, Sophia and I share our recipe for Pumpkin Pie Pudding. Although Pumpkin Pie itself is more traditional, we like things a little non-traditional.

If you’d like to try our Pumpkin Pie Pudding yourself, you can find the recipe here.

Who doesn’t love mashed potatoes? Well, I’m sure there are some people…actually Alex is pretty picky about his mashed potatoes–they have to be smooth, no lumps, or he won’t eat ‘em. Anyway, all of us love these and they’re easy enough that we can all make them together. They also go great with our Thankgiving turkey meatballs–Enjoy!

Just like the turkey, mashed potatoes, are a Thanksgiving meal staple in our home (and many homes I guess). But, because my kids are not always with me on Thanksgiving day, we sometimes don’t do the whole turkey, stuffing and cranberries thing; we’ll simplify the meal. This means creamy, garlicky spuds, turkey meatballs and our delicious Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie.

This is our recipe for the smoothest, butteriest, garlic mashed potatoes around. And, they can easily be made family cooking style–bonding while peeling potatoes is something the kids will always remember.

Alex and Sophie LOVE this recipe–both the eating and making it parts–we hope you will too!
