How’s your weekend? Were you pre-occupied with to-do lists and finalising your menus for Thanksgiving? Honestly I’m having trouble deciding which the dishes will make the cut for the Thanksgiving party.

Donna Hay’s Polenta-Crusted Potatoes
A feast won’t be complete without roast potatoes. Don’t we all feel the necessity to pair the crispy nuggets of carbohydrate with roast meat? In my opinion, this combination is a perfect marriage, no less than Posh and Beck’s. 
Chicken & Vegetables Noodles
It’s that time in the week that I need to do stock take before grocery shopping. Usually, I’m left with bits of vegetables that is not enough to make a dish on its own but when put together, they’ll be enough to make a meal to feed the entire family (ok, sometimes!). As much as I love eating fried rice and has been my constant to-go dish for the purpose of cleaning out my fridge, I need to step out of my comfort zone and try something else such as noodles.
Christmas Food Craft Ideas
As food is on my mind 24/7 and my longtime fantasy of living in a gingerbread house, I am inspired to make my own Christmas tree ornaments with materials none other than, edibles! I am hoping to make popcorn garlands and maybe one of these super adorable and unique ornaments that is drool worthy! Oh I’m feeling all “crafty” alright! 
2. Gumdrop Christmas Tree Balls
Pumpkin Pecan Pie with Cornflakes Crust
I’m so proud of myself right now. I can’t help it, just look at the pie, my very first pumpkin pie. Oh, did I mention the filling is made from scratch too?
Despite the idea of making things from scratch is impressive in my book, I’m convinced that I’ll need a shortcut for the filling next time. Some of you will agree that peeling through the stubborn exterior of a pumpkin (actually about a quarter of a Japanese pumpkin) and cutting it into pieces are no piece of cake, especially when you’re relying on an old and blunt generic knife to do the job for you. I should have used pre-made pumpkin puree instead. I should have. At the end of the day, I don’t think it’ll make much difference, am I correct? Even if there is any difference, there’s nothing nutmeg and cinnamon can’t fix right?
