Gearing Up for Turkey Day

Jan Norris, my good friend and longtime colleague, has a popular blog in Florida (she was Food Editor of the Palm Beach Post for eons) that’s currently featuring yummy Thanksgiving Day recipes. If you haven’t yet set your menu in stone, consider the likes of a quivering Cornbread Puddin’ with pepper jack cheese, Vidalia onions, cumin and coriander; and a Grand Marnier-spiked Pumpkin Cheesecake Crème Caramel (recipe and photo from Good Housekeeping) that can be made a day or two ahead.

I contributed two of my favorite Turkey Day recipes to her round-up: The World's Best Cranberry Sauce and a luscious puree of yams and poached pears that's seasoned with ginger and fresh tangerine juice.  You can see them all at JanNorris.com.
