We Have A Winner! And Some Thanksgiving Recipes

   Happy Thanksgiving week. For those of you eating at relatives.. I feel you, and watch your blood pressure! For those of you who are cooking at home, I salute you! I'm not going to be cooking this Thanksgiving as my parents decided that we're all going out to a restaurant this holiday. This is also the time of year when I'd be trawling the cooking magazines looking at friends' blogs, and perusing  my cookbooks searching for something interesting to put on this very traditional table. Over the years I've come up with a lot of good stuff, so In the spirit of wishful cooking I thought I'd pass along some recipes that we've loved.

And Now For the Winner!

   I held a drawing this morning to give one person a chance to try some vegan palm shortening courtesy of the folks at Tropical Traditions  . They were nice enough to let me sample their product which arrived just in time as I was doing some cooking for a friend who was on a medically enforced vegan diet. Believe me, it really came in handy.

The winner drawn by random.org is Monique!

   I really like this shortening and I hope you do too, I'll be sending our winner Monique an email and will get this shortening right out to her just in time for holiday baking. Thanks to everybody who entered and to those of you celebrating, have a great Thanksgiving week.
