These days, I'm the designated baker in our little family. But not so long ago, I was banned from the kitchen for starting not one, not two, but three kitchen fires. (RIP, apple cobbler.) Thanksgiving can be stressful, you guys!
I'm enamored with lovely centerpieces and place settings, but I totally advocate cutting corners to get dinner on the table ASAP. (After all, when you've got hungry guests who have been loitering around smelling turkey all day, you've got to watch out for uprisings.)
Case in point: my famous pumpkin pie, which contains no actual pumpkin. Why bother, when butternut squash is super creamy, and easier to chop, roast, and puree, to boot?
