Thanksgiving is coming! I know it's a month away still--but I'm already trying to figure out which dishes I will take to the huge family get together.
Something Jereme's family does super well is cook. And eat. And cook and eat some more. It's always a challenge for me to find something to take, because I am always looking for something new to try--something that everyone will like, but perhaps something that not everyone has had before. I actually really enjoy the challenge.
So this year I will try Taste of Home's Honey Thyme Butternut Squash. It sounds wonderful to me, because I like my squash a little bit sweet, and I am pretty sure that everyone in the family likes squash. The recipe is downstairs, and Taste of Home's website wants me to sign up to be able to access it online, so I won't be posting it tonight. However, if it goes over well at Thanksgiving dinner, you may just see another post about squash.
I love food, and I love new recipes. This year Taste of Home has given me a lot of good ideas. Since I'm not so sensitive about Jereme and the boys being my guinea pigs, I will also try out several dishes on them this holiday season. Champagne basted turkey and twice baked sweet potatoes sound awesome to me...so we'll have to see how my boys like them!
What do you plan on making for Thanksgiving dinner?
Have you ever heard of a cushaw? I hadn't until I met Steve's step-dad (an Oklahoma, shack-raised, Choctaw sort of fellow, who's an excellent cook). He grew a bunch in his garden this summer and Steve plans on making a cushaw pie... which he said is like pumpkin pie except different. Whatever that means! I guess I'll have to let you know. :) I'm looking forward to hearing more about your cooking ventures (I rarely cook)!
ReplyDeleteAs for figuring out my own dishes to bring to Thanksgiving dinner... I'll have to get back to you on that. *trails off*
Nope, never heard of it. You'll have to let me know how it is. Does Steve do most of your cooking?
