Three posts in one night! I’m on a roll. 🙂 Maybe I’ll be caught up on all the fall happenings before we reach 2017. …maybe.
Our Thanksgiving was a quiet affair — a manageable meal for the two of us with only our favorites gracing the table. Most of the recipes were new, with a few staples making repeat appearances. Everything was easy and almost everything we were able to make ahead. I did very little other than reheat on the day of — that’s the perfect Thanksgiving to me!
Here’s the rundown:
We started with a cheese plate: warm brie with honey and pomegranate seeds…
…and a new favorite: Wensleydale Cheese with Cranberries. SO. GOOD.
To drink, we had a festive apple cider sangria with apples, pears and more pomegranate seeds.
Joe did a great job with his turkey….
…while I handled sides like mashed sweet potatoes…
…homemade green bean casserole with onion rings (YUM – a new favorite)…
…and cornbread stuffing with vegetarian sage sausage.
We also made some Rhodes rolls to pair with Joe’s favorite strawberry rhubarb spread and my favorite vegetarian gravy by The Grit (not pictured).
I was trying to get a picture of our tabletop before we ate, but ended up needing to capture the little eager face waiting for us to sit down and dig in. Isn’t she precious?
Desserts were pumpkin chocolate cheesecake bars (DELICIOUS) and a new recipe for pecan pie bars (I like these better).
