A Life in Food by real-life Chef Cheryl Bennett
Desserts. It’s what we all look forward to after the big Thanksgiving meal. This week, we are focused on desserts. Think beyond the traditional pumpkin pie or pecan pie. Those are certain to be on the table, as always, but we’re bring a few ideas for something additional or different to grace the holiday table. While I myself can’t identify, there are people who dislike pumpkin pie. These desserts are sure to please even the pickiest eaters, there is something for everyone.

Happy Friday! Have you planned you menu for Turkey Day? Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away? Wasn’t Halloween just last weekend?! After Labor Day, I swear someone hits the “fast forward” button. Time goes so quickly, I can’t keep up some days.
For the next couple of weeks, we will focus on Thanksgiving recipes. We will feature sides, desserts and how to re-purpose leftovers. Make sure you are subscribed so you don’t miss a single recipe!
Here’s how it works: Every Friday morning, a new menu plan will show up in your email. It will consist of 5 dinner options, plus 2 extras. Those two extras could be side dishes, dessert, drinks, etc. The Dinner Divas weekly menu plans will feature (mostly) healthy, seasonal foods that don’t take all day to prepare. Getting the weekly menu delivered to your inbox on Friday morning gives you the chance to make your shopping list and get organized for the week ahead. I’d love to hear from you & see your creations! Post a pic using #DinnerDivas and tag @pookspantry! I hope this weekly menu plan provides inspiration and makes life a little easier… one meal at a time.

This 5 ingredient corn casserole is a staple on nearly every Thanksgiving table. And with good reason – it is easy and delicious. It’s the time of the year for Thanksgiving recipes, and this one is always at the top of the list.
Creamy, sweet corn casserole is one of the things I wait all year to eat. I have been making this for over two decades, which is why I highly recommend it. It is one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever make and it is so unbelievably good. The browned, crisp top gives way to a creamy corn pudding inside, making this a staple on the holiday table.
