Thanksgiving is a day we like to try new recipes in place of the old standbys. If you're like us, take a shot at this make-you-pass-out good pumpkin mousse.

My friends who are already married have whined and lamented about this for years but until now, I just didn’t give it much thought. I’ll have my own in-laws to buy for soon. And while friends have summed up their issues with the moniker, “Monster-In-Law,” my soon-to-be new second “mom” is great. But that doesn’t make her any easier to buy for.
