Hello Darlings!
This year my Thanksgiving was really low key. However, that
doesn’t mean we skimped on food- thus a short but delicious What I Ate
Wednesday: Thanksgiving edition!
I knew I was going to be cooking all day so I made sure that
I had something with protein in the morning to keep me full. I tend to be a
‘taster,’ so much so that some of the recipes that have been passed onto me
have little notes like ‘DON’T EAT ALL THE RAW APPLES’ (yes, in caps) right
along side the list of ingredients. Two eggs scrambled with mixed greens, mushrooms, a side of fruit, and two mugs of tea
(not pictured) kept me feeling great until it was time to indulge!
For a bit of “lunch” while cooking it is a tradition in our
family to whip up a batch of artichoke dip served with freshly baked bread
popped out of fun molds. The recipe is so rich that I rarely serve the decadent
treat, but there is no better time for fun treats than a foodie’s holiday!
For the main event, Thanksgiving was rather traditional. A
fresh, organic turkey roasted to perfection sprinkled with spices, herbs, and
stuffed with veggies was our shining star. Three Ingredient Homemade Cranberry
Sauce (Check out the recipe post!), stuffing, and Roasted Root Veggies rounded
out the delicious meal.
And finally, Thanksgiving is not complete without pie (and
lots of it!) A deep dish pumpkin pie and a family recipe apple pie- complete
with mountain scenery decorations crafted out of left over pie crust (and yes,
that was my attempt to include Tink on the pie- Fail)- could satisfy anyone’s sweet
tooth! Of course these were consumed hours after the regular meal because,
quite frankly, it is rather difficult to not
overeat on Thanksgiving!
