What are you thankful for??

Thanksgiving is inching closer + closer to us, y'all

I might get around to posting one or two more recipes before the big day (cough cough: meal)

But, until then, I decided to make a list of the recipes that will make our final cut

Ya know... The Good Shit... Err "Stuff"

Aww heck, who even cares!!

Enjoy 'em, ya'hear :)

APPETIZERS

Candied Bacon Wrapped Sausages... one of the most popular recipes EVER.

How about a darling cheese plate fit with lots of yummy charcuterie?? 

These pistachio crusted, honeycomb filled cheese truffles are the perfect one bit appetizer

Prosciutto topped deviled eggs with olive oil + chives

This fancy-schmany Roasted Garlic Goat Cheese Beehive with Drizzled Truffle
Honey is a show stopper!!

This is gobbled up in minutes... Whipped Garlic Goat Cheese with Candied Jalapenos
+ Red Onion Marmalade 

Another cheese plate option: roasted figs, grilled brie, honey drizzle, shaved prosciutto,
and crispy fried bread.

Marinated Cheese Dip... a. crowd. pleaser. 

"Not Your Granny's" Loaded Pimento Cheese Drip with Bacon Jam (DUH)

Pickled Deviled Eggs with Shaved Country Ham + Sriracha Powder

My most requested "newest" recipe... slow roasted tomato bruschetta with whipped
goat cheese, roasted garlic, and freshly grated parmesan cheese

SIDES + ACCOMPANIMENTS 

BACON FAT FRIED triple corn hoecakes. Bacon, that is all. 

The best brussels sprouts that I make. 

Okay, besides this brussels sprouts slaw... it's so refreshing!!

Southern Corn Pudding... a must at our dinner table.

Instead of creamy green bean casserole, give these Creamed Collards with
Crispy Shallots a try :)

Every year I have to give this recipe to someone... Cracked Pepper + Gruyere
Popovers are the best thing to put in your bread basket :)

The additions of dried cherries really sweetens up this tart cranberry sauce!

Pickled Cranberries with Champagne + Vanilla Bean... just so festive. 

Who doesn't want dessert as a side dish? Try this dark chocolate-brown butter-salted popovers... NOW

DESSERTS

Hard Sauce, + a scoop of Brown Butter Ice Cream

Pumpkin-Buttermilk Pie with Gingebread Crust

Salty Winter White Honey Pie might be a new classic,

Sweet Potato-Pecan Pie with Chunky 'Nilla Wafer Crust

A NECESSITY: homemade vanilla bean pastry crust

A PLC Classic: This Buttermilk Pie is on our table ever year. No lie.

Brown Butter Baklava wouldn't disappoint guests either, haha :)

This will be a NEW addition to our Buttermilk Pie... adding the creme brulee topping!!

Salted Caramel Apple Pie just "screams" Thanksgiving to me.

The unforgettable "Forrest Gump Tart"... layers of salty pretzel cookie crust, salted caramel,
bittersweet ganache, and gourmet truffles on top

Goo Goo Cluster Pie... yes, it is candy... in a pie.

The hands-down favorite dessert: Pumpkin-Pecan Pie Cheesecake with Biscoff
