We share recipes and ask and answer questions from “How do you feed your family at night when you don’t walk in the door until 5:30 and you have a soccer game at 6 and piano lessons at 6:15 ... on opposite ends of town?” to “What’s your Thanksgiving menu this year?” to “Remember that punch you made at Christmas? What was the recipe?” So come on in to our virtual dinner group, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let’s start cooking together.

Thanksgiving desserts
We are having a small crowd (5 adults, 3 kids) for thanksgiving. I made a pumpkin cheesecake http://inhomecooking.blogspot.com/search/label/Pumpkin%20cheesecake
it is in the freezer. I will make a chocolate desert because I love chocolate deserts, thinking http://www.recipegirl.com/2008/08/12/molten-chocolate-cakes-with-irish-cream/
Molly asked about pie. Now I like pie but could live w/o it but is does seem like for thanksgiving you need pie, Molly requested apple, Brad's favorite is blueberry so I'm thinking of making http://www.recipezaar.com/Mini-Apple-Pies-So-Easy-Not-Much-Hassel-286704
And maybe doing 1/2 apple 1/2 blueberry. I figure I can freeze the leftovers. Anyone ever try mini pies? I worry a little about them coming out of the Muffin tins.

In a large bowl, combine popcorn, pretzels, bagels and corn chips.
In a small bowl combine all remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour evenly over popcorn mix, toss gently to coat. Store in tightly covered container.

Great Glazed Cupcake Recipe?
We are having a ladies lunch for my best friend, who is expecting her 3rd baby, in a couple of weeks.
I have a great floral cupcake pan from Pampered Chef (https://www.pamperedchef.com/ordering/prod_details.tpc?prodId=13837&words=floral%20cupcake) and am looking for a delicious cupcake recipe to use in it. Because the tops have such a pretty flower design, I don't want to cover in frosting. I am open to different flavors.
