It may be obvious to you, but if not, it should go without saying that Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday! A whole day devoted to eating specialty dishes, family recipes, and seasonal foods—how could this not be the best day ever? Just hearing the word “Thanksgiving” brings to the surface memories of specific smells, table settings, and, most prominently, tastes. For us, different childhood memories pop-up of nibbling on the “crusty” edges of mom’s baked mac and cheese, or licking the wire beaters from the electric mixer clean after they whipped together the sweet potato casserole. Of course, equally important as the food is the company. On this glorious holiday, you not only get to devour a massive meal, but you get to do it with the people you love. Again, it just may be the best day ever!

What speaks better to home cookin’ than an apple pie. Hot, sweet and delicious, it is in the top ten list of favorite desserts. Just after the New Year, our good college friend Joey at Biddy’s Biz hosted a dinner at his own apartment. In addition to a menu of goat cheese and strawberries over greens and roast brisket, he baked an apple pie. Lattice crust and all! Through the magical combination of today’s cutting edge cellular technology and social networking sites, he shared the image of his freshly baked pie with the Facebook world as an homage to his apple cutting and pastry slicing skills. That’s why we asked Joey to send this right on over for our Guest Test Kitchen and give you the lowdown on his delightfully delicious apple pie.

Sweet Potato Pie with Pralines

We decided to do it again. Try another pie that dominates the holiday season. It’s so hard to pass up on lovely sweet potatoes. They’re packed with bodybuilding vitamins, and they taste good! Now all of those nutrients may be depleted once you’ve added processed sugars and fats, but it still tastes good. We think that was the main point of our argument anyways. The crumbly, nutty goodness on top in combination with a sweet, fluffy gob of whipped cream just takes it over the moon and back again. We’re not sure you’re ready!
