It's Gingerbread Season!

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:29:06 +0000

I guess technically, it's still turkey season, but as soon as Thanksgiving week rolls around, I start thinking about gingerbread -- gingerbread cookies, gingerbread houses and more.

Want some fresh ideas on making an easy gingerbread house? Try my Pop-Tart Gingerbread House. No baking required. Or bake a Gingerbread House Cake instead. You can still decorate it, and you don't have to worry about constructing the house. Everybody knows it's the decorating that's the fun part. Of course, my favorite technique is to use a Gingerbread House Kit. All the hard work is done for you, and you and the kids get to enjoy the fun part: Decorating the Gingerbread House!.

Want to break with tradition a bit this Thanksgiving? Why not start with your green bean casserole? This Fresh Green Bean Casserole is every bit as creamy and delicious as the classic, but it ups the ante a bit by using fresh green beans, fresh mushrooms and a homemade sauce instead of canned soup. The result is spectacular, and I think your guests will agree.
