I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective. I love Thanksgiving. It is such a fun holiday to spend with family and friends.

In my house, Thanksgiving involves the usual turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and an apple dessert. Before we had a toddler, I would always make an apple pie. However, my daughter doesn’t really care for it. I like to put this dessert on a plate and let my guests serve themselves. The ultimate topping for this amazing dessert is pumpkin frosting. In my opinion, nothing goes better with Thanksgiving dessert than warm apple cider. In both of these Thanksgiving recipes, instead of butter, I used I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!

Buy me Now! Panko Mozzarella Sticks! I first discovered panko bread crumbs back in 1999. Please don’t ask me how I know that; I just do. I remember vividly reading a recipe that contained panko bread crumbs, and I remember vividly that I was nursing my second baby, and I remember vividly that I was hormonal and desperate, and the next thing I knew I was ordering panko bread crumbs from some market in Chelsea that the magazine recommended. On the phone, of course, because although I had a computer at the time, I certainly wouldn’t have been cool enough to use it to order panko bread crumbs. Plus, I was nursing.

Panko bread crumbs, in a word, are delicious. Panko are Japanese breadcrumbs, and are lighter and flakier than regular breadcrumbs. When I set out to make a recipe with panko bread crumbs, I started in the direction of something Asian/exotic. So guess what I did? Let me back up: my family LOVES fried mozzarella sticks. Here we go: Panko Mozzarella Sticks! Grab the panko breadcrumbs. You’ll need a bowl of flour… Oh! Cruftbox.

The cupcakes are made by Heirloom LA, a catering business. About the size of a muffin, a single lasagna cupcake was a delicious meal.

The ingredients are fairly simple. Spray or wipe the cupcake tin with olive oil for prevent sticking and add a little flavor.

Once you filled in the first layer, gently press another wrapper in, forming another cup. Once you've placed the second wrapper, repeat the filling as you see fit. A bit of Mozzarella cheese on top of it all. I baked them for 20 minutes at 375° F and then come out perfectly browned. If you remembered to use olive oil, they should slide out easily with top crispy and the wrapper moist and tender. The small cupcake size works well for us. Pumpkin Granola Recipe. Thursday, November 3, 2011 Pumpkin Granola As you all know, Halloween just passed and I was only trick-or-treating for one hour but still got four pounds of candy! Since four pounds of candy would make me as round as the Earth, I decided to donate pretty much all of it to the local orthodontist who gives one dollar back to my school for every one pound donated. Another tip on not to become as big as Earth, is to make this healthy home-made Pumpkin Granola.
