Slow Cooker Turkey Breast
We all love a goodroasted turkey breastwith the extra-golden, buttery skin.
This is not the year to experiment with unproven or over-the-top recipes!!
(Psst theres aHerb & Garlic Butter Slow Cooker Turkey Breasttoo!)
Stovetop Creamy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon!
If brussel sprouts are what youre after, forget perfecting the oven timing.
Make them on the stove instead gratin style, but with way less fuss!

A Sweet Finish
When it comes to dessert, I say go big or go home!!!
For such festive occasions like Thanksgiving I lean towards big, shareable desserts you slice or spoon out.
I suppose its the convivial and comfort-food appeal, not to mention the added bonus of leftovers for days….
While I love a classicPumpkin Pie, my personal favourite has to bePecan Pie.
Nutty pecans nestled in a caramely filling?
Umm, YES just!
Though for a throughly cost-effective, totally loveable option, try a cosyBread and Butter PuddingorCinnamon Laced Rice Puddings.
The wordluxuriousis the best description, and its not overly rich at all.
And my step-by-step tutorial with straightforward recipe videos will guide you through this one from start to finish!
The final clincher about this cake?
I recently saw it at a high-end Sydney patisserie selling for over $100.
This homemade version will cost you less than $20 to make even usinggoodquality chocolate.
And imagine the compliments you will be lavished with.
With this one, you really can have your cake and eat it too.
WHAT A WAY TO FINISH!
It is, after all, a holiday for giving thanks.
Until such day, some dodgy PhotoShopping will have to do….
