The month of November is a betwixt and between month in and around Chester County and the Main Line area as we transition from Fall to Winter. We finish up the month with one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving. I usually cook and bake in the days leading up to the holiday so that Thanksgiving Day can be given over to just enjoying family time together. I mean, what’s better than pumpkin pie for breakfast with your children and grandchildren!
