OMG easy and oh so yummy! I found this recipe folder up and crunched in the back of my recipe box. Glad I did a little organizing and found it. The recipe calls for sautéing and cooking and boiling...forget that! Take all the ingredients and dump them into a crockpot and 6 hours later all you need is a blender for your perfect soup. (As shown in the picture my 2 1/2 year old daughter took...no joke)

What is Thanksgiving without stuffing!!! My husband and I tried this recipe from the Great Good Food cookbook, about 5 years ago, and we have used it every year since. It does take a little extra work...but anything really worth it does, right!?! CAUTION: This makes an ENORMOUS amount of stuffing. I have to use two baking pans for the full recipe. We usually half it and still have tons for left overs. It is also super versatile; added dried cherries/cranberries/apricots, chestnuts/walnuts/hazelnuts, mushrooms, pears...the sky is the limit on the many ways you can change up the flavors.

Okay all you burger connoisseurs, here's one to try. My long time friend, Amanda, gave me this recipe. I have yet to follow a recipe to the letter, so I'll put it as it is written and anything I "tweeked" will have an asterisk next to it. Original Source: Pepperplate (www.pepperplate.com)
