The kids in the video are adorable, and this poor, stressed out guy can remind us all that we don’t have to have a picture perfect Thanksgiving to have a fun time together!

I absolutely adore Thanksgiving! Although I do appreciate the gorgeous fall colors and lack of stressful gift giving that many people claim as the reasons they cherish this autumn holiday, my real motivation for loving Thanksgiving is simple—all that food! I start planning my menu weeks in advance, so I thought I would share the wealth and list all of my favorite foodie websites to help you get your Thanksgiving feast on the table in style.

• What better place to start devouring Thanksgiving recipes, tips and tricks than at the Food Network website? Check out their special Thanksgiving section for delicious dishes to fill your day with fun, food, family and friends.

To kick off one of the few Halloween celebrations happening at Tiny Prints this week, we held our first-ever Iron Chef Pumpkin competition in which every department submitted appetizers, entrees and desserts to be tasted by a panel of “special judges.”  All of the employees went the extra mile to prepare amazing dishes. In fact, these dishes were so good that we thought we would show a few photos from the event and share the winning recipe, which was submitted by Lily Liang who works in Product Management.

Marketing Won the Overall Competition:

The Winning Dish: Rachael Ray’s Pumpkin Lasagna

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 1/2 pounds bulk sweet Italian sausage (pork, chicken or turkey, whatever you like), casings removed
1 large eggplant, peeled and chopped into small pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk (eyeball it)

Few dashes fresh nutmeg
1 box oven-ready lasagna noodles

Fall has become one of my favorite seasons. Growing up in Hawaii, I never had the opportunity to experience anything but warm weather. That is why I really appreciate and love the bright reds and oranges that seem to color every leaf during this time of the year. It’s also the reason why I’m dedicating this week’s inspiration board to the fall season.
