[Recipe] Apple Roses – A romantic finish to any dinner
In an earlier post, I mentioned that we made some apple roses for our thanksgiving dinner. It was quite easy to make, and I think it's a very romantic finish to any dinner with your loved ones.

Thanksgiving Dinner with Echelon Foods Turducken Roast
Traditionally it's not in our culture to celebrate Thanksgiving. But this year, as newlyweds, we did something different and invited 4 friends over for a Thanksgiving dinner. Courtesy of Echelon Foods, we received one of their Bacon Wrapped Turducken Premium Roasts. It's a turducken roast with Italian sausage stuffing and wrapped with bacon. A 3kg meaty goodness. It's going to be an epic dinner!
