Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs

Have you started planning your Thanksgiving feast yet? 

Whether you have or haven't you have to add Smoke Salmon Deviled Eggs to your menu! They look so luxurious, but are actually a fairly easy to make recipe.

Back around Easter when I shared the way I make Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs I had promised the recipe for these Smoke Salmon Deviled Eggs. Colt had taken photos, and some how the recipe I had written down disappeared. I still don't know where it went. 

So as promised I finally remade them, and wrote down the measurements. They are a bit of a twist on my Mother-in-law's classic deviled eggs. She uses sweet pickle juice instead of dill and no herbs, but they are absolutely divine for a basic recipe. I'll have to share the recipe hopefully sooner then later.

If you aren't big on the fresh herbs for a garnish you can use extra smoked salmon like the last photo or just a little cayenne pepper or smoked paprika or you could just add a little of everything! 

Pumpkin Cheesecake Crumb Bars

Pumpkin Cheesecake Crumb Bars are for those times when you can't decide whether you want pumpkin pie, cheesecake or something with crumb topping.

I hope I'm not the only one who runs into these complicated decisions...

These Pumpkin Cheesecake Crumb Bars are all those favorites in one easy to make bar. They didn't last long and I'm pretty sure it was due to Colt having at least two on the first night but they were even better after a day in the fridge.

The crumb topping adds a wonderful texture to contrast the creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling.

You can't go wrong with these bars! As long as you love pumpkin, cheesecake and crumb topping these will be your new found favorite.

Beet Orange Salad

If we go out to eat, and Beet Salad is on the menu I always order it. I just love beets, and can never get enough.

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching I thought I would share this easy Beet Orange Salad. It has roasted beets, oranges, clementines, and a tarragon citrus vinaigrette. The flavors really work together beautifully. 

Tarragon has a flavor similar to anise, and if you don't care for it feel free to substitute it for something else. Mint is good, and I use it for Beet Orange and Mint Salad I make. Fair warning the pictures are hideous! Rosemary or thyme would also be delicious. The possibilities are endless.

This salad is also good with a little goat cheese or feta, and maybe even some crushed pistachios or walnuts. But I kept it rather simple this time.

The most surprising thing was I had intentionally made extra and hid a rather large container in the fridge. Logan made sure to devour the whole thing before I could get to it the next day.. Ha..Ha.. and he's usually not a big beet eater.
