When my sister and I both lived in Brooklyn, we made a habit of listening to Dolly Parton every Thanksgiving. Because it seemed appropriate? Actually, I'm not sure why. But I do know there's nothing like standing in a tiny, warm kitchen with a spatula-mic in your hand singing along to “Jolene” with your sister with the smells of a turkey roasting and pumpkin desserts cooling swirling all around you.
So what I'm saying is that, this year, I'll be most thankful for Dolly. Obviously. And also maybe these pretty great recipes that I've turned to more than once during the holiday season.
Two-hour turkey and gravy.
Sausage and apple stuffing.
Martha's macaroni and cheese.
Roasted Brussels sprouts.
Pancetta crisps with goat cheese and pear.
Pumpkin cheesecake with caramel swirl.
