I like to add pumpkin spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice & ginger. I also add a handful each of dried cranberries and walnuts. I cut into equal triangles from a round. When completely cooled, I drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze.

Turkish baklava layered with cinnamon-and-clove spiced walnuts between dozens of buttered phyllo sheets, then drenched in fragrant clove syrup. Crisp, flaky, and honey-sweet, cut into the classic diamond pieces.

Homemade easy hot cakes from a handful of pantry staples, flour, milk, eggs, and butter, whisked into a smooth batter and griddled golden. Soft, lightly sweet pancakes ready for jam or your favorite topping.

My husband and i really enjoyed this recipe. I am not a very good cook, but these instructions were really easy to follow! Try it!

Grated potato pancakes with a smooth batter base: shredded potato folded into a milk-egg-flour batter and fried golden on a hot griddle. Pair with bacon, applesauce or stewed berries.

Blender hollandaise sauce made in minutes with egg yolks, hot butter, and lemon juice. Silky, rich, and practically foolproof with the hot-butter-into-blender method.

This turned out quite nicely, was surprised at how well it held together considering there was no egg to help bind the ingredients together. We made a vegetarian shallot gravy to go along with it. Nice herby flavor throughout.

Cornbread stuffing that straddles the Mason-Dixon line, blending crumbly cornbread with white bread, buttery onion and celery, sweet corn, and toasted pecans. Keep it dry for Western dressing or moist for Southern.

Cassis cheesecake with white chocolate folded into the filling, creme de cassis liqueur, and a tangy sour cream topping with almond. A French-inspired cheesecake with subtle blackcurrant and almond notes.

Cottage cheese biscuits skip buttermilk in favor of nearly 2 cups of creamed cottage cheese for unmatched moisture and protein. Tender, fluffy, and high-rising biscuits in 45 minutes.

Silky chocolate amaretto truffles rolled in chopped nuts. Just 4 ingredients and 30 minutes for a batch of melt-in-your-mouth homemade candy. A stunning edible gift idea.

Perfect for feeding a crowd and easily scaled to feed a larger crowd. No spices to disagree with anyone, just solid belly warming filling goodness.

Shortbread-like biscuits -- This recipe was given to my Great Aunt when she lived in Scotland, by a friend who worked in a bakery in Leven Fife. It is based on the standard short bread recipe.

Homemade French bread: a no-knead, food-processor dough that rises in the fridge overnight, then bakes into crusty baguettes with a chewy interior and crackling crust. Bakery quality at home.

Chilled leek and potato soup blended silky and lifted with Greek yogurt instead of cream, finished with fresh chives for a light vichyssoise that's vegetarian and summer-ready.

A rich, delicious stove-top side dish with a silky texture. This pairs especially well with the Porcini-Rubbed Turkey with Shiitake-Madeira Gravy — or grilled steaks on any other day in November. You can make the potatoes eight hours ahead and reheat them just before serving.
