Brining your turkey may sound a bit intimidating if you’ve never done it, but this method is super easy, and the outcome is a deliciously seasoned turkey; brining ahead of time will also make Thanksgiving Day more relaxed, which is always a win in our book! The roasting method starts the turkey at a high temperature to brown the skin and sear in the juices then reduces the temperature for the remaining cook time, creating a moist, juicy, flavorful turkey. Follow the recipe exactly and you will not be disappointed!

Candied oranges sit atop this delectably light tea cake inspired by Italian polenta cake. Rather than the finely ground polenta that is traditionally used in Italy, we sub cornmeal, which is similar in texture and more widely available in the States. Our version is also gluten free and refined sugar free, making a lightly sweetened tea cake that is better for you. If you prefer a little more sweetness, simply add the syrup in step seven.

Making your own egg dye from natural foods is simple and fun. You can even use brown-shelled eggs—with their darker base, they enhance the color, creating a range of earthy jewel tones. Just mix up your dyes and let the eggs soak until your desired color is reached. The dye can be used to make more eggs, just be sure to keep it in the refrigerator. And remember that natural dyes stain too, so be sure to protect your egg dyeing area and clothes!
