Up until very recently, I wasn’t entirely sure butternut squash even was. I definitely couldn’t have picked one out of a vegetable lineup.
broccoli + leek au gratin
No, Thanksgiving spread would be complete without some sort of broccoli/rice/cheese casserole.
apple pretzel tarte tatin
John has a long, sordid history with flipping. Flipping desserts that is. Our group of friends will never forget the sweet potato spice cake he tried to replicate from O Magazine.
smoked maple whiskey pecan pie + drunken whipped cream
Holy Hell. Every year I dream about and pine for the opportunity to devour the sickeningly sweet nectar of Gods that is pecan pie.
scalloped potato gratin
This is time a year when the wheels come off, we lower our guards and crash head-on into the magical, not-oft visited, world of carbohydrates.
creamy asparagus casserole
We’re pretty sure that Thanksgiving is Old English for ‘Dinner of Casseroles.’ Seriously, if it isn’t baked in a 13×9 dish, swimming in Campbell’s Cream of ANYTHING, it wasn’t served at our Turkey Day dinner tables growing up.
cheesy leeks
Now, the English aren’t known for fine cuisine, Thanksgiving, OR good teeth… But this dish sounded too interesting not to try. And we’re glad we did.

If you don’t already know, we aren’t actually trained chefs, and by now you’ve probably realized we LOVE a shortcut.
smoked cheddar apple pie
The idea for this recipe was brought to our attention at the end of an extremely drunken night on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
