After having enjoyed Thanksgiving with our loved ones, we are almost immediately reminded to purchase holiday gifts for our family and friends. Commercials tell us the only way to save money on holiday shopping is to purchase our gifts early in the season. Chances are, many of us will go through a tank of gas while circling the parking lot of an overcrowded mall and then impatiently wait in line hoping to save a few bucks. Spend that time and money creating edible gifts your loved ones will cherish right in the comfort of your own home. It’s a great way to save gas, money and time while not having to cut anyone off of your “nice list”.

Guaranteed Ways to Make a Succulent Turkey
The thought of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner brings to mind memories of a long buffet style table crowded with bowls of gravies, sides, stuffing and desserts, barely leaving enough space for the napkins and silverware.

I have always strongly believed in using seasonal ingredients in my cooking as well as homemade cocktails, the way nature intended it to be.
