Well, everything came out perfect! The stuffing was spot on – just like my Nana’s. I totally spaced on taking pictures last night. I’m so sorry! We got up at 5:45am and got the turkey in the oven. And I didn’t do anything else to it until I took it out at 11:45am. No [...]
OK, this is going to be quick because I have stuffing to make! House to clean! Tables to set! Harkening back again to family parties of old, I’m going with one of my favorite old school snacks: Ritz crackers with a slice of cheddar and a piece of pepperoni. Delicious and so, so easy! I’ll [...]
The turkey has been purchased and has been slowly defrosting in the fridge for the past 4 days. We bought a 24-pounder, which stuffed, should take around 5 1/2 hours. I want to take it out of the oven by 12:00n so it will have to go in at around 4:30am. Ugh…Last year we got [...]

Well, if you are my family you have: butternut squash, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, broccoli casserole, creamed onions, creamed corn…do you see a [...]
My turkey recipe for Thanksgiving will again, harken to days past. When my parents hosted Thanksgiving my dad took care of the turkey and my mom made the stuffing – just like my nana’s. That’s the meal I will attempt to recreate. My post yesterday covered the stuffing, so today we’ll talk turkey. My dad [...]
For Thanksgiving day dinner we are going to go classic with the menu. We’ll go a little bit more creative for Saturday night’s friends dinner, but not for the family. So, the most important part of the Thanksgiving dinner in my opinion is the stuffing. I love stuffing. Especially with gravy. Yum. In fact one [...]
Today is one of those days where I’m a bit uninspired. I was uninspired at the gym, uninspired about studying for my German test, even uninspired about what to make for dinner. When Andreas called to say he was running late and could pick up Indian take out, I jumped on the opportunity. You can [...]
My family, including my mom’s entire extended family, celebrates all major holidays together. When I was younger, each of her siblings took a turn hosting a holiday. When I was about 10, a routine was more or less set. Aunt Ellen had Christmas, my mom had Easter, Aunt Joanie had memorial day, etc. Thanksgiving was [...]
