The HH offered to make dinner.
I turned him down and made my own.
Date day…. I love it when there are leftovers.
Hot peppers harvested in October… and then hung by the wood stove to dry.
Mississippi Pot Roast {again} but this time with scalloped potatoes.
There were also Fisher Scones, the left over split pea soup from last week and a frozen pizza.
But who cares what we ate late week…. This week, it’s all about Thanksgiving!!!
What I have planned for our Thanksgiving menu:
- Roast turkey with Spiced Christmas Jam {slathered on top of the bird the last 30 minutes of roasting}
- Cherry Cola Jello Salad
- Carole’s Creamy Grape Salad
- Broccoli Bacon Cashew Salad
- Homestyle Scalloped Potatoes
- Amberlina’s Sweet Potato Casserole
- New England Style Buttermilk Rolls
- Cheesecake {It’s a toss up between a Simple Cheesecake and Mrs. Hillbillies Amaretto Cheesecake recipe.
There will only be three of us for Thanksgiving this year, and while I know there will be a ton of leftovers, it’s just not Thanksgiving unless all your favorites are on the table. Plus, HELLO…. Thanksgiving is meal planning at it’s finest if you ask me. You cook on Thursday, and you don’t have to cook until the following Monday…. or even later if your’e super lucky.
If you have an ABSOLUTE must make Thanksgiving recipe you’s like to share, please leave us a link below. Sharing is caring after all and we’d love to hear about it.
Have an awesome week everyone,
