Happy Thanksgiving



I hope that everyone had a good day! Ours went well. I did make the dressing and the pumpkin pie filling from scratch. I am thankful that no one died from eating either… LOL! The cranberry yuck I made was a hit. Yes, I called it cranberry yuck because it is not what I like. I make for the others! Its more like a compote since I add walnuts to it.

Our menu consisted of:

Turkey
Dressing
Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes (baked)
Acorn Squash
Corn
Veg tray & Dip
Gravy
Deviled eggs
Cranberry Yuck (1bag cranberries, 1cup sugar, 1/2cup orange juice and 2 handfuls of walnuts)
Chestnuts **Story to come about the Damn Chestnuts**
Sourdough Dinner Rolls
Pumpkin Pie (homemade pumpkin puree)
Angel Food cake
Whipped cream (made from heavy cream)
Blackberries

So the only processed food was the pie crust, canned corn, angel food cake, mayo in the eggs and the can of sweetened condensed milk. Not to bad. Next year I hope to make my own of all the above listed ingredients.
