Dreaming of Turkey Day

When I moved to Oregon, far away from all my extended family, I had to start cooking ALL of the Thanksgiving dishes myself. Sweet Potato Puff, mashed potatoes, stuffing, turkey, ham, green beans. Not to mention all those pies. (you need one pie per person, right?) So, one year I got really smart and just bought seasoned turkey breasts from Costco and cooked them in the crock pot with butter, wine and herbs. It made turkey day sooo much easier. And I had more time to bake all of those pies.

Pumpkin pie, of course, Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cheesecake, Pecan Pie and Blackberry Pie. Yummy.
Now, I buy my pumpkin pie at Costco, because, who can beat that price. Plus, I don't like pumpkin pie, my family does, so who cares, right? Now, let's talk about that cheesecake. Oh. My. God. It's so delicious, plus I only make it once a year, so it's really special. And who doesn't like Pecan  and Blackberry Pies.

Well, I'm tired, so I will post the recipes later. I just wanted to get your mouths watering. I'm such a tease!
