GHOSTWOOD Pumpkin Tart with Walnut Streusel

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

If you are like me, you are hunting down recipes, making grocery lists, trying to decide how big of a turkey you will need. I love this holiday. Just getting together with family and friends is so much fun. I love the smell of that turkey roasting and hearing the sounds of people talking and laughing together.

I hope on that day, whether you are at home or in a restaurant, you take a moment to just take it all in and just be thankful for everything we have in this wonderful country of ours. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everybody.
