 Friday Finds | 11-22-2024 | Books ~ Crafts ~ Holiday Recipes ~ Indie Authors ~ Contests

Welcome to the Friday Finds for November 22, 2024!

Greetings from snowy Wisconsin, where I’m celebrating my youngest grandson’s birthday and staying through Thanksgiving! To my friends in the USA, have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and delicious food. To everyone else, wishing you a cozy and joyful weekend ahead.

This week’s finds are packed with exciting recipes, book reviews, crafty creations, and a call for a cherished family recipe. Do you know a good Spanish Cream Pie recipe? I’d love to hear from you!

Don’t forget—I’m taking next week off to enjoy time with my family, but I’ll be back on December 6th with more finds. Until then, peace, love, and happy holidays!

💖 Gina

Weekly Friday Finds | 11-22-2024 | Recipes

First off, this week, I’m asking for your help. My Great-grandma made the best Thanksgiving dessert: Spanish Cream Pie. Unfortunately, the recipe was incorrectly passed down. I have been searching for a comparable recipe without much success for years. Have you had Spanish Cream Pie? Do you have a recipe you could share with me?

Maple-Butter Glazed Turkey from Bonappetit Friday Finds 11-22-2024

Maple-Butter-Glazed Turkey

“My kids told me to stop trying new methods,” lamented one-holiday fussbudget. But “everyone said this was the best turkey they ever had.” The victor went on: “I didn’t realize until serving how much deconstructing the turkey ahead of time reduces stress levels when carving—it is SO much easier.” Watch Chris make it here. (From Bon Appetit)

Weekly Friday Finds | 11-22-2024 | Fun Time

I plan to stick with fun questions for the time being instead of trivia-type questions.

What would you be doing right now if money and time were no object?

I would be relaxing on a white sand beach, gazing at the beautiful blue water, with a frothy coffee drink in one hand and a book in the other!
