50 Desserts to Serve on Thanksgiving

Have you started planning the menu for your Thanksgiving dinner? Are you looking for some dynamite dessert recipes that will satisfy your guests' collective sweet tooth? Be sure to check out this amazing round-up of 50 Thanksgiving dessert recipes on Taste As You Go! This post was updated with new links and photos in November 2021. Ahhhh...  November.  I have been waiting for you (and all that you bring) for months . Specifically, I have been counting down to that glorious day spent with family and loved ones around a long table packed to the gills with platters and bowls of comfort food and happy memories. Of course, I'm talking about Thanksgiving. This year, we're spending the holiday with my family in Connecticut and I. Cannot. Wait. You better believe I'm going to use my pregnancy as an excuse to eat three full plates of food plus  five slices of whatever we've got going on at the dessert end of the meal! (Because I'm eating for two, right??) In

Gordon Ramsey's Fast Food

Through the power of Twitter, I was made known of a cookbook giveaway sponsored by Food Network Canada. For correctly answering the question "What is Gordon Ramsey's country of birth?" two Grand Prize winners would each be awarded a copy of Gordon Ramsey's Fast Food. Guess who was one of the lucky Grand Prize winners?? That's right! Yours truly!! I received the news yesterday, and in a few weeks, I'll be receiving a lovely package from Canada with a cookbook inside. I can't wait!



Martha Stewart Salt and Pepper Mills

As if that wasn't fantastic news enough, I finally received the Martha Stewart salt and pepper mills I ordered about a week ago. I used them tonight on some pita chips I baked in the oven and the chips turned out marvelously. I know I'll be using them more and more as the weeks progress.

Finally, I've made some changes to the blog itself. I've cut down the number of food blogs in my food blog roll to five. So many people have contacted me about being added to the blog roll that I realized the roll would be way too long and would clutter the sidebar. To compensate for that, I'll be rotating the blogs I feature every couple of weeks, so if your blog was there before and isn't there now, don't worry. It'll make its way back onto the blog roll eventually. I've also created a FoodBuzz profile upon the suggestion of Zesty Cook as a way of meeting more food bloggers and of making Taste As You Go more visible on the food blogging scene. I've already been in contact with several FoodBuzz foodies and I've only had my profile up on the website for a day!

Things are developing so nicely, and I just wanted to share all the exciting news! Hopefully there will be more good things to share in the future!

PS. In case you were wondering, Gordon Ramsey was born in Scotland.

ETA 10/2/2008 10:11am: I didn't have to wait very long for my Gordon Ramsey cookbook to arrive... When I arrived at work this morning, it was waiting for me on my desk! Hooray!
