#thanksgiving
Like I mentioned yesterday, we had an early Thanksgiving celebration and the menu turned out well. The main advice I have is not to let your visiting family turn off the wireless connection and then not know how to reconnect anything for 90 minutes in the middle of cooking. Me going off the grid when I have pots of food on the stove and having to look up my recipes on my tiny phone screen = an annoyed DrBabyMamaDrama.Anyway... food. Focus, DrBabyMamaDrama...
I had my classics ready to go:
- Appetizers that are not too filling
- Spiced nuts (makes me giggle like a 4th grader every time I write that)
- Alton Brown's Roast Turkey
- Pan Gravy
- Combination of turkey drippings, flour and low sodium chicken stock, cooked on the stove in the same roasting pan that the turkey was in and strained.
- Cranberry Orange Relish
- Cornbread Sausage and Sage dressing (recipe made up in my head, sorry!
- Corn Pudding from Eat.Drink.Smile (awesome!)
- Potato and Turnip Mash
- Sweet Potato Casserole
What are you looking forward to eating this year?
