We have a freezer full of delicious home grown chicken, but my heart is leaning towards the traditional Thanksgiving Bird, the turkey. Though I find it hard to justify purchasing a commercial grown turkey when, again, we have a freezer full of delicious home grown chicken the size of a turkey! So I think I will select the biggest chicken we have and pretend it's a turkey. ha ha.
As far as sides go, stuffing is a must. Not sure if I will stuff the chicken, a.k.a turkey, or just do a dressing on the side. Then there's the decision as to whether to have Acorn or Butternut squash. I'm leaning towards Acorn, I've had Butternut quite a few time this past week or so. And I would like to use one of my Butternut to make a comforting soup, so I have to ration them a bit. And I think I will steam some peas or mixed vegetables for added flavour and colour. And, without a doubt there has to be mashed potato and gravy. The only vegetable my husband will eat, potato. sigh....
Home made cranberry sauce is a must!
And what about dessert? Pumpkin pie? Squash pie? Apple pie? I am thinking Apple pie since we have a 20lb bag of apples just begging to be made into a delicious pie.
What's going to be on your Thanksgiving Table this year? I hope it will be bountiful and delicious! Everything your heart and tummy desires.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
