Given how focused this journal is on food, and the time of year, it is hard for me not to think of Thanksgiving Dinner. So, here are some things I would include if I had no limits:
- Crudités
- Antipasto
- A mixed green salad with a simple oil and vinegar dressing
- Small French bread rolls
- Butternut squash soup
- Roast Turkey with pan gravy
-
My Grandpa’s Dressing — it used to be stuffing, but the food police will not let me stuff my turkey any more.
- Corn Pudding (or Baked Corn Casserole)
- Cloved Pearl Onions
- Cranberry Sauce
- The Authentic Honeybaked Ham (from the Honeybaked Ham Company)
- Mashed Potatoes
- Green Bean Casserole
- Scalloped Tomatoes
- Wild Rice
- Popovers
- Pinot Grigio
- Pecan Pie with whipped cream
- Pumpkin Pie with whipped cream
