Starting the Holiday Season ;-)

The Armchair Chef is getting ready for the Holiday Season in 2007.

In October, we will be celebrating Halloween — for most of the month! I will be hosting the Halloween Countdown with recipes from many of my Needlework and Quilting friends.

This weekend I will be organizing all of those lovely recipes. We have treats, appetizers, beverages, and even some entrees, so start planning your Halloween festivities!

November 21 is Pumpkin Pie Day. I will try to find an unusual version in celebration. I will also try to get it posted early — so there will be time to get it baked!

Here is a link to last year’s Chiffon Pumpkin Pie Recipe! 

This Thanksgiving, I will be sharing another Vintage Thanksgiving from the November 1982 issue of Gourmet Magazine.

Here is a link to last year’s offering.

The Thanksgiving Menu for 1982 featured a Southern theme. Dishes include Creamed Smoked Oysters on Corn Sticks, Roast Turkey with Pecan and Rice Stuffing, Rum-Glazed Sweet Potato, Apple, and Chestnut Gratin, Cauliflower Slaw, Robert E. Lee Cake and Damson Plum Tarts.

I will post this in the first half of the month so there will be plenty of planning time for those who wish to try these fabulous dishes!

After Thanksgiving, I hope that you will join us for the 2nd Annual Holiday Bake Along, with wonderful recipes provided by your favorite Quilting and Needlework professionals.

I may have some other goodies, so stop by often!
