I’m starting to make up lists and recipes for our Thanksgiving. Which is really amusing, as there will just be the two of us. However, I take my job as chef seriously, and so I plan out each and every detail before hand. So far, here is the menu.
- Turkey. I have a ten pound young turkey for the big day. I’ll use butter to rub it down and then sea salt and pepper to season it.
- Stuffing. Usually I make a chestnut dressing, but this year I asked Hubby what he wanted and he asked for a sage stuffing like his mom used to make. It’s fairly simple, but delicious.
- Gravy. I make my own pan gravy. Yum!
- Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. I love their slightly yellow tinge and sweet flavor. What a great mashing potato!
- Green beans. They are flash frozen in our freezer from the garden last summer.
- Butternut squash. I cooked all my squash from the garden, cooked it up and then mashed it, seasoned it with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, and then froze it.
- Cranberry sauce. I’m not sure if I will make a cranberry/orange relish or just use normal cranberry.
- A relish tray with olives and pickle relish.
- Apple cider.
- Champagne.
- Homemade apple pie.
- Classic vanilla ice cream.
- Alka Seltzer! (lol)
With that menu, if I weren’t working n Thanksgiving, but I am, I would be hopping a plane to join you for dinner. lol Sounds great.
Sounds great! Love YOU, Mel
Yes, Alka Seltzer seems to be very important…hihihi
Your plan is wonderful 🙂
