Sunny's Green Bean Casserole Mash-Up

For this casserole's crunchy topping, skip the store-bought potato sticks and make your own using potato peels, sage, thyme and paprika. You can also make this dish ahead of time and refrigerate it so that all you have to do on the big day is bake it and serve.

Bobby's Herb Roasted and Braised Turkey

When it comes to keeping your turkey juicy and flavorful, Bobby swears by warmed chicken stock. Keep it around your kitchen when the big day arrives, and you can use it not only to warm up and moisten your turkey, but also to thin out thick gravy.

Anne's Brined Rosemary Crusted Turkey With Pan Gravy

After you brine and butter your turkey, refrigerate it uncovered overnight. Not covering it will help the skin to dry out and become brown and crispy when baked.

Bobby's Cranberry-Texas Red Grapefruit Relish

For an unusual cranberry sauce twist, Bobby adds grapefruit juice for a bright boost of acidity.

Anne's Kabocha Squash Pie With Spiced Crust

Go beyond the traditional pumpkin pie this year and try kabocha squash, a fall vegetable with a bright orange flesh that is loaded with even more natural sweetness.

Alex's Cranberry Almond Crumble

Try making crumbles instead of pies for an easy, lighter alternative that still packs in all the same fall flavors. Alex's cranberry almond crumble is crunchy and tart, pairing perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Melissa's Pumpkin Cake Pops

These cake pops are kid friendly, both to make and to eat. Get the little ones involved in tearing the cake into crumbs and then dipping the finished pops into white chocolate.

This refreshing margarita is seasonal and simple to make. Mix it and put it in pitchers before your guests arrive so you don't have to worry about being on drink duty the whole evening.
