Doughnuts are one of my favorite sweet treats. Whether they are doughy or cakey, baked or fried, frosted or plain—there is always a type of doughnut you can find out there to make you happy. You could even try a special fall variety—like an apple cider or a maple bacon doughnut—on this day!
Making bread at home isn’t as difficult as you probably think it is. Why not put your skills to the test on the seventeenth of November and try to make a loaf of sourdough or rye in your own kitchen? Seeing the final result is so rewarding!
Mousse is a light and fluffy dessert made from whipped egg whites, whipped cream, or both, and flavored with additions such as chocolate, fruit, or coffee. Why not order this treat at your favorite restaurant or even try making your own on the last day of November?

]]>Not only is Thanksgiving celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada, a month and a half earlier than in the United States, but you’ll also find some unique food items on Canadians’ tables. Here are some of the more surprising ones!
Pumpkin pie is a dessert served in both the United States and Canada on Thanksgiving, but the north-of-the-border version is quite a bit different. While American pumpkin pie is mostly sugar and pumpkin baked into a crust, the Canadian version is toned-down, focusing much more on spice flavors such as ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
Dressing (or stuffing) is served as a traditional accompaniment to turkey both in the US and in Canada, with the American version typically being made with a base of bread crumbs. However, finding rice-based dressing containing similar ingredients like vegetables is quite popular in Canada.
Both Americans and Canadians love to eat potatoes on Thanksgiving, but the Canadian version differs from the typical US dish of mashed potatoes. You’re more likely to find a potato gratin—a baked dish containing sliced potatoes and loads of cheese melted on top—on a Canadian table.
