Holiday season is here! While most of us have our holiday traditions to look forward to, I think its fun to mix it up every year with something new. For Thanksgiving this year, I was in charge of desserts (a big, sorta scary first for me) and table setting (old-hat, but I still tried to make it interesting). I also learned a quick way to make quiche. Here’s the scoop on each:

Thanksgiving Dessert (both recipes from Diana’s Desserts)

Cranberry-Pear Crisp

Spiced Pumpkin Torte with Nut Topping

Thanksgiving Table Setting (fold instructions here)

Waterlily Napkins

Thanksgiving Breakfast

Quiche

This one is crazy simple: Get a frozen pie shell, fill it with desired ingredients until is about 2/3 full (I used cubed ham, cheddar, parsley). Beat three eggs and a cup of milk together and pour over your toppings in the pie crust. Bake it in a 350 degree oven for an hour. Check with a toothpick. enjoy!
