Since we’re about to get silly gluttonous in a few days, I figured I’d post some mouth-watering items before we all get stupid with tryptophan. Yes, simply put, these are things I want to eat this week. I won’t be making turkey or pie this year, so I figure I’d dream big. Big like Real Simple big. Big like Thanksgiving done right big. Who needs pecan pie when you could have a banana creme pavlova tower?

I will eat this.

I can almost even taste these.

Are these baking? I smell them.

Is this food or fantasy?

It’s my favorite drink. In my favorite food.

from Real Simple: raspberry rhubarb tart, pumpkin cream sandwiches, From Design Sponge: gruyere and herb scones, From Better Homes and Gardens: banana cream pavlova tower, From Food Blogga: lemonade cookies
