I didn't find this as creative as most Gooseberry Patch cookbooks, which are typically packed with creative recipes and tips, but there are a few interesting twists on standard recipes in this one (and worth downloading for those). Here are a some examples: Vanilla Glazed Sweet Potatoes, Harvest Apple Cheesecake, Day After Turkey Muffin Cups (interesting way to use leftovers), Apple Cider Turkey! Enjoy!

Gooseberry Patch is one of my favorite companies. A while back, they often produced little cookbooks on a variety of topics. This is one of them. If you are expecting a large book, be forewarned, there are only 24 selected recipes in this book. The Kindle version, however is nicely formatted with good hyperlinks to each recipe, and cute clip art added to make the pages look less barren. While I didn't find a lot that I was eager to cook in this booklet, I do think the Pumpkin Coffeecake sounds really good and I have bookmarked it, and it is certainly worth a gaze if you are looking for inspiration for Thanksgiving.

Everything looks so delicous in this cookbook I couldn't wait until Thanksgiving to try out the recipes. I just happened to have some bananas that were very ripe so I made the banana bread with walnuts. The only thing I did differently was I used butter in place of the shortening and margarine. Who uses margarine anymore? I thought that was bad for you. But anyway it turned out fine with the substitution. I also left out the blueberries because that sounded strange. Some of the other recipes that looked great included: Pumpkin Coffeecake Spice Apple Tea Pecan Pie Cheddar Biscuits Turkey Pot Pie (which serves 16). Some of the recipes have interesting combinations that I would not have thought of like yams and apples or vanilla flavored sweet potatoes or cranberries with orange marmalade. Now the only thing I'd probably change about this cookbook is the table of contents. I'd put it at the beginning of the book. Although the book is quite short so this really isn't a big issue. Since the banana bread was so good I feel these are recipes you can trust. Baking times may however vary a bit. I ended up cooking the bread for an extra 15 minutes. Fortunately I was on the phone talking to a friend while this baked so time flew by. It is so warm and cozy to go to bed with your whole home scented with cinnamon.

I hosted my first family Thanksgiving last year and made the triple cranberry sauce, green beans supreme and spicy pumpkin pie from this book. They were all a hit and my mom, who's been hosting Thanksgiving for years, even asked for the recipes!
