Holidays, Thanksgiving Menu

Thanksgiving is only a week away, have you finalized your menu?

 

 

I’ve been sipping eXtra strong coffee and drawing thinking rather than cooking this week

 

 

I want to come up with a Mouthwatering Menu

 

 

That is, of course, Fabulous, but balanced, with a few No Guilt  dishes

 

 

I want to Kick it Up

 

 

I also want to keep it simple, nothing too complicated to prepare, not too many Utensils

 

 

 So here’s what I’m thinking…

 Start the day with some healthy Yogurt

We are having dinner at 5 so we will need a mid day nibble, like

 

Cranberry Walnut Pie Spirals

 

or maybe even a very thin Pizza

like this Butternut Squash Tart

 

Dinner will feature turkey of course

 

with several of these easy sides

Acorn Squash Glazed with Maple, Bleu & Pecans

 

or maybe Brussels Sprouts & Bacon Gratin

 

Slow Cooker Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes

 

or maybe non traditional Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

 

Holiday Dressing with Focaccia, Cornbread & Sausage

or the not so traditional Orange Glazed Bacon Wrapped Stuffing Balls

 

 

Easiest Ever Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole

 

or the not so traditional Green Bean Bundle Salad

 

Southern Scalloped Pineapple

 

or maybe a non traditional Apple Pear & Walnut Galette

And dessert!!

HHjr wants to make a Cranberry Lemon Pie and I want to make these Chocolate Pecan Pie Cupcakes

Decisions Decisions!!
