Thanksgiving Roasted Cornish Game Hen

Since I live alone, and my family are spread across the globe (I have siblings in Alaska and France!), my Thanksgiving can be pretty lonely. Sometimes I spend it with friend's families, but not every year. This year is one of those years. So, an entire Turkey is kind of ridiculous for just one person! I'd be eating left over turkey for a month. Thus, I make myself a roasted game hen instead. Their only a few bucks and a decent size for one person, and with sides I even have some leftovers for the next day.

Leek & Mushroom Soup (v, gf)

This is a delicious and bright soup that can be enjoyed year round and can fit various price points depending upon which mushrooms you choose to use.

Autumnal Pumpkin Pizza (gf)

This might sound a bit odd at first - who puts pumpkin on pizza? - but its actually pretty great. The savoury crust, the spicy pumpkin sauce, and the tang of gorgonzola cheese truly separate this pizza from its sweeter cousin the pumpkin pie. Omit the turkey and this pizza is still a great vegetarian option to savour the flavours of the autumn harvest.

Savoury Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

This savoury alternative to my Basic Gluten-Free Pizza Crust brings more flavour to pizzas that need a little more panache than a basic crust.
