In a holiday baking rut? Add some old-fashioned cookie recipes from New England to your repertoire. My collection of dozens of cookie recipes from New England inns will provide inspiration. I'll highlight a great recipe every week, such as these mint fudge cookies from New Hampshire's Old Red Inn, but don't wait to try them all!

Need a recipe for your leftover Thanksgiving turkey? Tired of turkey sandwiches? This Wild Turkey Hash recipe has been a mainstay at Topper's Restaurant at the Wauwinet, Nantucket's only Relais and Chateaux property, for decades.

As usual, we'll start our Thanksgiving morning off with a delicious treat from Maine's Robinhood Free Meetinghouse restaurant: 72-Layer Cream Cheese Biscuits. I first sampled these rich yet airy pastries in 1999, and I was delighted to learn in 2006 that I could purchase Chef Michael Gagne's famous biscuits at my local Whole Foods Market.

But do these delicate cream cheese biscuits--literally made of 72 thin layers of laminated dough--taste as good prepared in my own kitchen? Read on! I'll also tell you where to order these gourmet treats from Maine online.

What Are You Thankful For This Thanksgiving? Take time out to share your gratitude in the New England Forum. I've gone first!
