So Thanksgiving, right? I know, I am a little behind. Even though it was only a little over a week ago, its already been long forgotten in the rush that is the Christmas season. But I'm not ready to let it go yet, plus these recipes would all be great for Christmas!
Before I go on much further, let me say I actually impressed myself. The day was a bit nutty between making dinner, running the dogs back and forth to my moms house, feeding the baby, and enjoying time with my in-laws, but dinner was on the table by 4 and it was mighty tasty.
Lets start- you remember the plan? I followed it to a T.
The Pork- OMG, the pork. I skipped the pan sauce, but holy cannoli this was amazing! Please, promise to make it for a gathering. Its super simple and way tasty.
The Stuffing- also really good. I meant to add bacon to the recipe, but forgot. Seth commented that it was "very appley," which I take as a good thing.
The Carrots- if I could skip one recipe, this would be it. They weren't bad. so much as they were just meh...
Mashed Taters- I wish I has paid attention cause my MIL knows her way around a tater... Those suckers were good. She tells me the secret is evaporated milk and lots of butter.
The Kale- MAKE THIS ONE NOW... Do not wait for a special occasion, it is amazing!
Cranberry Sauce- generally, I just kinda make up my own recipe and it always turns out just fine. This year, I decided to take the easy route and used a recipe. It was excellent and it was so nice to use the crockpot instead of worrying about another pot on the stove.
Pecan Pie- I am not generally a pecan pie kinda girl, but this pie was pretty freakin good. Give it a try.
Apple Pie- Much like the kale, I demand you make this pie. I did tweak the recipe just a bit. I just poured the sauce over the apples and then did a crumb topping. It was pretty awesome.
That was my Thanksgiving- it was tasty and fairly easy to pull off. How did everyone else fair? Anybody started to think about Christmas dinner yet?
