Part of the fun of Thanksgiving is sharing food with your friends & family. Taking time
to make something homemade to share. And I always find it better to share my homemade
treats in homemade pots! So this year, I was in charge of appetizers. So I made a cheese
spread with sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta cheese and more! So yummy.
Special thanks to Rosene & Gerry for sharing this yummy recipe… so I could share!

My cousin Kim was in charge of the vegetable. And Thanksgiving wouldn’t be quite the same
if we didn’t have that “traditional” green bean & mushroom soup casserole! Which, if I must
say myself, always tastes better when baked in one of my own handmade oval casseroles!

I also made another pumpkin marble cheesecake with gingersnap crust.
My sister was in charge of the pies. I figured you can always have more dessert, right?!

And a little plate of chocolate fudge is always a welcome addition… even if it does have
a “secret” ingredient in it. I got the recipe from one of my Lillstreet students. We talked
about it in class, she shared the recipe and I just had to make a batch to share with everyone!
Of course I would never share the “secret” ingredient until AFTER they’ve tried it!!!

One more thing… here’s what’s left of the cheese spread.
Luckily, you can see the bowl even better!
