‘Tis the time of year, and as you know, The Goddess loves her cranberry sauce. She loves homemade cranberry sauce. She loves the stuff in the cans, too. She’s been pining for cranberry sauce for months, so she began by making a double batch. Hey, cranberries are only around for a short time, but cranberry sauce can be forever! Well, almost….

Sweet potatoes or yams, I honestly don’t really know the difference. I know there is a difference. But, if you mash ’em up with some bourbon, top ’em with bacon and pecans and a good drizzle of maple syrup…well then, I don’t think it matters one bit. 
At our home, mushroom soup is king. It’s pure comfort. I can’t believe I haven’t posted this before. I always have dried mushrooms in the cupboard, as well as porcini powder, so you can make mushroom soup whenever the mood comes over me. 
A Thanksgiving turkey sandwich with slices of sweet mango, a good schmear of Sweet Curry Mayo, is hands-down, no contest, the favorite way The Eldest Progeny likes to have his leftover Thanksgiving turkey. And if a couple of slices of bacon happen to jump on the sandwich, he’ll sacrifice himself. It’s the blend of flavors, I guess. But, I always make a good-sized container of Sweet Curry Mayo for him and his sandwiches. 
Every now and again, we have a vegetarian at our holiday table. There are always plenty of side dishes that will work for them, but I think vegetarians should be able to experience a filling and delicious main course. Just to be clear, non-vegetarians gobble this up, too! Yeah, I went for the Thanksgiving pun…get over it! 
Anyone you knows The Goddess, knows that her refrigerator is always bursting at the seams. The reason? One word…condiments. Condiments and sauces are where it’s at. It’s such a luxury to have jars of sauces, relishes or chutney tucked away, just waiting to be smeared on crackers, or added to a grilled cheese. Or serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey, which is a nice change from, or in addition to, cranberry relish. 
The autumn is in full swing, just shy of when the snow flies in the North and brings us winter chills. I love this time of year. And I love this holiday. I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving offers us the opportunity to reflect on our blessings, to share our bounty with others and just have a rip-roaring good time with friends and family. And of course, to eat! 
At our house, rice pudding is a HUGE comfort food. Right up there with tapioca pudding, but that’s another post. And then, there’s pumpkin pie, all spicy and creamy. And around this time of year, pumpkin pops up in everything, so I decided to combine these two comforts. Why not? And just in time for Thanksgiving, too. 
Garlic-parmesan crusted pork is a thing of beauty! Yes indeed, it is. The combination is near Nirvana, or at the very least ethereal. And I wanted to use the Instant Pot™, so I could use the pressure cooker feature…it worked like a charm! 
I can’t believe I haven’t posted this before. Yes, The Goddess was holding out on you, and after you make this you’ll be ticked that she did. But, she’s trying to redeem herself here. It’s time to share. These will grace your appetizer table over and over. The combinations of flavor and texture are just sublime.
