Today we celebrate the establishment of the United States Air Force on September 18, 1947, by President Harry Truman. While there were different branches of the military that incorporated aeronautical pursuits in their tactics, the establishment made by President Truman was the first formal separation of the Air Force as its own entity. Today, on its 73rd birthday, we want to thank the men and women who currently serve in the Air Force, as well as its veterans!!

Looking for an appetizer that will keep your guests satisfied while you finish the Thanksgiving meal? Try this recipe for Pecan Goat Cheese Truffles that you can make the night before!
1. Combine softened goat cheese and cream cheese in a medium size bowl. Whisk together until smooth and creamy, then refrigerate for at least one hour or place mixture in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
2. While cheese is chilling, preheat oven to 325˚F. Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper.
3. Combine pecans, oil, honey and Sriracha on the prepared pan. Bake for 4 minutes then remove pan from oven and stir well. Return to oven and bake another 3-5 minutes or until pecans begin to brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with kosher salt.
4. Combine cooled pecans, dried fruit, chopped rosemary and chopped parsley on a dinner plate. Set aside.
5. Scoop up 1 tablespoon size portions of the chilled cheese mixture and roll into balls (the balls will be a bit sticky, but chilling helps make it less sticky). Drop the ball onto the plate with the pecan coating and gently roll the cheese ball around in the mixture, patting it into the cheese, until it is fully coated. At this point you can reshape your balls into nicer circles, if they have become misshapen. Place on a clean dinner plate and place in the refrigerator until 30 minutes prior to serving. Serve with crackers, crostini or pita wedges.
