Here's our turkey from last year which was delicious. To impress Ryan's family we followed recipes from Gourmet magazine (back when there was such a magazine) and one of my favorites, The Southern Living cook book. My favorite dish was the blue grass salad. Yum. And my pecan pie. The secret to the best pecan pie is to make it with 5 eggs like a custard. This year... we were very non-traditional. We made a tastey chicken soup using the remaining carcass of a roasted chicken and added some veggies and egg noodles. I had to make my favorite pecan pie of course and am making it this year with a new crust recipe that I love. I took it from a pear crostada recipe in Bon Appetite although I never did make that pear crostada. I made an apple pie crostada with the crust and it was so tastey! So Happy holidays and enjoy your leftovers.
