The GF Turkey Day Menu
What will be on your table?
Your cranberry apples are so good. I’ll miss them this year! Here’s what we’re having:
Turkey
Stuffing
Macaroni and cheese (I don’t think I’ve ever seen this on a Thanksgiving table, but it’s a staple for my new sister-in-law’s family, apparently. It’s her grandmother’s recipe.)
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry sauce (I made it last night, and I think it’s a little too tart. Hm.)
Sauteed spinach with garlic and pine nuts
Green bean casserole
Maple-pecan sweet potatoes
Pies
I’m liking the sound of Maple-pecan Sweet Potatoes. And isn’t Mac-n-Cheese okay any day?? Yum!!
Well,
We hillbillies will be feasting upon the fruits of the land…
Squirrel dumpling appetizers
Raccoon biscuits
Sage dressing stuffed Oppossum
Sauteed acorns
Toe jam preserves
Enjoy!
