Here’s a fun way to celebrate the arrival of Spring,
Have a Spring Thanksgiving!
Come on in, I’ll show you the menu…
HHjr smoked a turkey breast
and paired it with white BBQ sauce
😋
We used a bottled local sauce,
but it’s super easy to make your own,
see my White Alabama BBQ Sauce here
add horseradish for extra zip!
I made super easy sides,
I used Stove Top cornbread stuffing mix
and added corn, celery and onion
Using a prepared baking dish
Cook the onion and celery in the microwave with the butter
As the butter melts, the vegetables will soften
Add the corn and stir in the dry stuffing
Pour in the chicken broth and stir well
{you can also stir in a beaten egg for a denser stuffing/dressing}
So easy, no fuss, no mess!
The green beans were made in a similar manner
I microwaved frozen beans in a sprayed baking dish until soft
I used Campbell’s Cream of Bacon Soup
instead of the traditional Cream of Mushroom
and added some crispy bacon pieces
It was ready for the oven in no time!
Reserved onions went on top during the last 5 minutes of baking
Instead of pumpkin pie how about
Lazy Lemon Pie in a jar for dessert
