We are going to start off where no one in their right mind would…..in the bread and roll category.
I’ve been making these pumpkin cornbread muffins for a couple years now and they are so apropos of the occasion that I just had to share them with you.

They are a dense, crumbly affair which makes them perfect for sopping up gravy or making them into stuffing.
The second most important part of the meal is dessert…..doy.
I’ll be making the classics, a Pumpkin Pie for me and an Apple Pie for everyone else.
If ambition strikes I’ve narrowed it down to a couple other options either Cranberry-Lime Cookies or Pumpkin Cinnamon-Chip Cookies, but more than likely I’ll make some Canela Ice Cream and call it a day.


I’m still debating on the day’s cocktail. What is everyone drinking? I’d love to hear.
I’m bouncing back and forth between bourbon and champagne or maybe hard cider…I don’t know, but whatever fills your cup I hope it is tasty and you will be clinking it with someone you love.
