Not having a mantle or all the living space in the world can make you feel like you’re SOL when it comes to decorating this time of year. With a little bit of imagination, anything from a stairway to a windowsill is ripe territory for the Christmas spirit. So, c’mon…let’s deck those halls!

Are you all pumpkin-ed out yet? No? Good! Because I have one more treat you need to bake before we move on to the holiday season. This recipe is a bit of a hybrid between a mini galette and a Danish pastry (which have the centre filled with custard), the result is a crunchy buttery tart with a creamy pumpkin center, topped with a drunken apple — seriously good!

Whether you’re hosting a sit-down Thanksgiving or a Friendsgiving buffet this year, these recipes give our favorite dishes a modern twist. On the menu: a boozy cheese board (yes, it’s a thing), an unexpected salad, a next-level turkey and ombré pears (also a thing).

Combined with Amaro Montenegro (which is an Italian sweet, herbal liqueur), fresh citrus, and some great fall flavors, this festive recipe is the crowd pleaser you’ve been looking for.

Sometimes you want to allow your guests to take care of themselves. This is where buffets, the one-stop-shop, save-the-day heroes of entertaining come into play.
