We love the traditional Thanksgiving meal as much as anyone, but this year, we feel like shaking it up a bit. Maybe it has to do with the way our lives have been overturned by the pandemic or maybe it’s just one of those years.

Bob’s Fromage Caprese
Bob Albers is a retired electronics engineer who has traveled all around the world, and now lives in Mandeville, Louisiana (24 miles north of New Orleans).

Strawberry and Goat Cheese Bruschetta
I found this recipe when I was looking for a dish to take to an outdoor, socially distanced pandemic meeting. I needed something where I could separate it on the platter so people would not have to touch the adjoining pieces. It worked perfectly!

Marinating Chevre
