Sage Pork Tips and Rice Dressing with all the flavors of Thanksgiving. The pork tips are cooked low and slow in the oven with mushrooms and onions and a sprig of fresh sage and thyme nestled in the broth. I grabbed a large package of pork tips and our local Sams this past week at a terrific price. I like to cook half of the package and then freeze the rest, but this time I decided to cook the whole package. As the temperatures here in North East Texas is getting pretty chili, I couldn't wait to cook something warm and comforting. We love beef tips, and I wanted to use the same cooking method of low and slow as I do with them. I cooked the Pork Tips in a 300 degree oven for 2 hours.

Old Fashioned Pure Maple Pecan Pie
Pure Maple Pecan Pie, a sweet, deep flavor of maple syrup complementing the richness of pecans in a classic pecan pie. Perfect for any Thanksgiving meal! Pecan Pie is Jim's favorite pie any time of the year, but definitely around Thanksgiving. This past week I made a Pear Dumplings Cobbler and had enough pie dough left to form a single pie crust. So I decided I would make a pecan pie for Jim since he loves them so, but when I got ready to make it, I didn't have quite enough corn syrup to make one. But I did have some maple syrup. The maple syrup sounded so good, but Jim is the same old...same old classic pecan pie kind of guy. He doesn't like me to change his likes too much. So I decided to surprise him with an Old Fashioned Pure Maple Pecan Pie.

Roasted Cinnamon Buttery Pears
Roasted Cinnamon Buttery Pears, simple dish showcasing the straightforward flavor of pears. They are buttery slightly sweet served as an accompaniment to pork, garnished in a winter salad, but also makes an elegant dessert for a fall dinner party, bridal brunch and quick weeknight snack. Pears rarely get center stage over apples and pumpkins in the fall, but for me, they sing fall. Roasting fruit is a purist way to dress up fruit for dessert or accompaniment to other dishes. As much as I like pears, I do not wish to mask the pure flavor of the pear with a lot of other intense flavors. When I eat pears, I want to taste pears.
