With the luxury of this long weekend stretching before me, I’m thinking of settling in at my kitchen table and getting started on a few projects for the holidays. Special homemade gifts like bottles of infused liquor and small tins of flavored salt take a little extra time to reach delectable perfection, and for this very reason, they’re always some of my favorite things to wrap up and give to friends. Care to join me?
Happy post-Thanksgiving Day, everyone! Is your refrigerator happily stuffed with turkey and trimming leftovers? Did you eat pumpkin pie for breakfast? (I certainly hope so — it’s a tradition around here.) We really enjoyed following along with many of your Thanksgiving dinners on our open thread yesterday, but now we want to know: how did it all turn out? Were you happy with the recipes you chose? Tell us all about your dinner — we’d love to hear how it went!
Welcome to the day after Thanksgiving! Anyone else’s fridge groaning with the weight of too many leftovers? Best satisfy your craving for turkey sandwiches pronto because we have some recipes here that are going to make short work of your leftover feast — like pierogis stuffed with mashed potatoes, a breakfast hash of leftover dressing, and a hearty white chili to use up every last scrap of turkey.
We all have that one person on our shopping list — the cook or host who seems to have everything. Well, there is an easy pleaser for all of these well-stocked folks: One big beautiful bowl.
Everyone can use just one more lovely serving bowl. From holding fruit to serving salads, pastas, vegetables, and other main dishes, a beautiful bowl will never go unused. It really is a no-fail gift. Here are ten examples that made us swoon. Any one of them would find a warm welcome in our kitchens!

“This is a quick soup made by combining canned tomato juice with oregano and a bag of mixed frozen vegetables.”

Every Thanksgiving my mother takes what’s left of the turkey carcass and makes a delicious turkey soup that we enjoy for days.
The first step is to make the stock, which you can get started on right after dinner.
