Thanksgiving Day Feast

It is that time of year again!! My favorite meal to prepare and consume is just days away, so I thought I'd post some recipes for those of you looking for new methods of preparing your meal.

I'm a strict traditionalist and insist that our meal be traditional. You will see no salad or jello on our table. The things that are always on the menu are:

Turkey
Stuffing (we do stuff the turkey)
Mashed Potatoes
Cranberry-Applesauce

There are lots of different ways to cook a turkey, but I prefer slow roasting. If you are concerned your turkey will be dry, worry not. Think about when you slow roast pork - it is succulent, right? Your turkey will be too if you do it correctly. Stuffing your turkey will actually help keep it from drying out. Here is the recipe for turkey and stuffing from last year's blog post...

and...the cranberry applesauce:

I'm getting so excited about cooking this year. I just wish our new baby could eat the meal...one more year and he will get to experience the culinary delight that has wowed my tastebuds for more than 30 years now!!

Happy cooking and Happy Thanksgiving!! :)
