A little over a week ago I was lucky enough to attend an early Thanksgiving dinner put on by Erika Kerekes from In Erika’s Kitchen and the US Highbush Blueberry Council. It was a twist on your standard Thanksgiving because every single item on the menu had blueberries in it.

Sweet Potato Bourbon Kugel for Thanksgivukkah

It’s because Starbucks starts serving their drinks in Christmas cups. It’s because on the cover of almost every… Continue reading Pumpkin Flan
