I put myself in the driver’s seat of Thanksgiving this year, even though I’ll be cooking at my mom’s house. It’s mostly a logistics thing – our house doesn’t do big dinners well in our tiny kitchen.
Here’s what the days events will include – I’ll try and document anything interesting that happens along the way!
Appetizers
Salami Crisps with Sour Cream and Basil from Best of the Best – thanks Janine! These are a very cool series of cookbooks, so much variety in one book!
Artichoke Dip – Care of the Brendyl family for a fabulous wedding present. What new bride doesn’t want a few of someone else’s best family recipes!
Rosemary walnuts – also from the Brendyl family
Assorted cheese and crackers
I figure since I’ll be cooking all day I’ll get snacks set up early to munch on myself.
Dinner
Turkey – fresh from New Seasons. I’m also going to be trying their apple cider brine recipe before hand. Wish me luck.
Stuffing – Gonna wing this part of the dinner thanks again to New Seasons.
Mashed Potatoes with Pancetta and Rosemary
Roasted Carrots – Recipe from another great wedding cookbook present
Mom’s Squash and Pear casserole
Cranberry Sauce – Another recipe they were handing out at New Seaons but I can’t find it online. Yummy cranberries with orange, agave syrup and port wine.
Gravy & Rolls – nothing exciting here.
Dessert
Pumpkin Pie – all from scratch from a recipe from the best dessert place in the world – Serendipity
Figs up close and personal.
