Anyway, Thanksgiving is not only about the Turkey. The side dishes are also very important and often neglected! Ever since I started celebrating Thanksgiving – which only happened after I moved to the U.S., 5 years ago – I noticed that there’s always a plate of green beans on the table.

The day we moved into our new house, my friend Maggie arrived in our barren kitchen with a pan of peanut butter rice krispies treats. “I don’t know what it is about rice krispie treats,” she said by way of explanation, “but they really hit the spot.” She was right. It had been ages since I’d had one, and I forgot how satisfying a simple rice krispie treat can be....

I simply cannot resist a fresh basil bunch. Every time I’m browsing through the fruits and vegetables in the grocery store and I see super fresh and green basil, I grab it.
