Thanksgiving Menu

doree:

bringtoaboil:

I am co-hosting Thanksgiving tomorrow and since the prep work begins tonight, I thought I’d share my menu:

  • Simple Green Salad
  • Butternut Squash Soup w/ Creme Fraiche 
  • Cheddar Biscuits
  • Roasted Green Beans
  • Brussels Sprouts w/ Pancetta 
  • Garlic Mashed Potatoes
  • Sage Stuffing
  • Cranberry and Port Glazed Cornish Game Hens w/ Pan Gravy
  • Cranberry Relish
  • Vegetarian Pot Pie
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Apple Pie
  • A BIG Glass of Wine 

Hi what time should I come over.

Ooh, pot pie sounds awesome!  I may have to do that next time I cook.  (Esp since I’ll surely already have pie crust happening.)  Here is my (and my mom’s) menu (dairy free, as we are lousy with lactards) for tomorrow:

  • Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Apples
  • Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Mashed Cauliflower
  • Cranberry Sauce with BOURBON
  • Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Vanilla Bean Butter
  • From-Scratch Green Bean Casserole
  • Vegetarian Chestnut Stuffing (*by mom)
  • A Turkey Cooked in a Plastic Bag (non-vegetarianly stuffed) (*ditto)
  • Maple Pecan Pie
  • Pumpkin Cheesecake

To feed five.  And I guess me and Tanner and my sister with leftovers for the next several years.

Also if anyone knows how to make vanilla-infused butter, I am completely guessing on this, so please let me know.
