The last Thanksgiving test of the season, and leave It to me to perfect It the day before the BIG day. Sorry for the timing, but not sorry for this incredible side dish!
It didn't take me long to realize this would make It on our table every year -- the seasonal from the pumpkin, the sweet from the honey, the spicy from the jalapeno -- I dont think It will take you long to realize It either!
Happy Thanksgiving friends, may your bellies get full, and your hearts grow happy!
