Our Thanksgiving

My Husband Carving the Bird

A little late, but I thought I’d share our Thanksgiving menu.   Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.   I love the communion of friends and family in celebration of thanks and nourishment.   Our meal fed ten and offered plenty to take home.

I served:

• Miniature Butternut Squash, Sage and Pecorino Cheese Tarts
• Fresh Raw Cheeses with Grapes
• Slow-roasted Turkey with Herbs and Bacon
• Buttermilk Herb Mashed Potatoes
• Roast Turkey Gravy
• Spiced Puree of Yams with Sorghum Syrup
• Honeyed Cranberry Sauce with Kumquats
• Boiled Beets with Butter
• Braised Turnips with Parsley
• Mixed Greens & Arugula Salad with Poached Pears, Spiced Walnuts and Gorgonzola Cheese
• Real Sauerkraut
• Maple Pecan Pie with a Sprouted Spelt Crust
• Cherry Pie with a Gluten-free Crust
• Maple Vanilla Ice Cream

I’m uploading the recipes today, so stay tuned!
