This way of roasting a turkey produces all the good looks and moist flavor of a near perfect Turkey. Show is off at the table before carving. Fresh herbs and aromatics inside the bird create a wonderful combination of slow roasted flavor.

A Greek favorite that makes everyone think you are a master chef and is sooo easy to make!! I taught a Greek friend how to make apple pie and she taught me this fabulous recipe.

"Fluffy cream cheese filling sandwiched between two moist pumpkin cookies make these Mini Pumpkin Whoopie Pies the perfect hand-held snack you just won't be able to resist!"

The pumpkin filling was very smooth and silky-like texture, I used all evaporated milk, reduced the sugar a bit, and the pumplin pie looked and tasted great with the right amount of sweetness. I had this tasty pumpkin pie with a dollop of Greek yogurt, and I absolutely enjoyed it.

There are ground pecans in the shell, there are chopped pecans in the maple-brown sugar filling, and there are maple candied pecans arranged on top. The sweetness comes from both dark brown sugar and maple syrup, and there are some chopped dried cherries and rum added into the filling as well. A classic pecan pie is twisted with a modern way to make it more delicious and appealing, and everyone will give you a big "wow".

"Pudding and whipped topping -- the perfect combination for this yummy no-bake, cold and creamy pie."

After trying numerous green bean casseroles I was not a fan. This casserole changed my mind. Tender-crisp green beans that were actually green. Just the right amount of creamy coating loaded with mushroom flavor. And no canned tasteless fried onions. Delish!

Make it ahead to save some time for your party day, and it tastes delicious when it comes out of the oven and freshly baked.

This delicious sweet potato casserole impresses everyone. It's creamy but not too rich, it's sweet but not too heavy. The candied pecan topping adds the extra crunchiness and nuttiness, a great side dish to share on your Thanksgiving table.

Libby's Pumpkin Pound Cake recipe

WOW. This was AMAZING! I got so many compliments on it, and a few people said they liked it better than pumpkin pie. I have to say I might just agree with that. I made it exactly as it said on the recipe, except I omitted the nuts and added a bit extra cinnamon and some pumpkin pie spice to the cake batter.

With this simple recipe, you will be making this scrumptious pumpkin bread in no time!
