This is the second time that I am hosting Thanksgiving, and I am really excited. I have been thinking about the menu and the different components for a while now. We are hosting some friends also, so this will be very exciting.
So, first we will start off with hot dogs in a blanket and some tomato-pepper dip. The dip is the one from the Persian Bride cookbook, which I really like. It is really easy and dairy free and meat free.
Then we move to knishes from the Butcherie, two kinds of cranberry sauce (cranberry orange sauce that my mom will make, and then the canned jelly stuff for me), homemade bread, pickles and olives.
Then we get down to TURKEY! I love turkey. My mom will be bringing the turkey. I haven't made one myself yet, and Adam doesn't like the smell of it. Although one of these years he is going to get used to it. I will be making Adam a curry tofu dish, which is really easy (and much less expensive than the wild mushroom casserole that I made last year). We will also have sweet potatoes with marshmallows, because I totally love it (sooo not gourmet, but who cares). Then my mom will make a chestnut stuffing, and I will make a vegetarian stuffing. And I am also going to have peas. Maybe another vegetable.
Then, my favorite part - dessert. We will have fruit, chocolate pie (Mae's recipe from the 1970s that my kids love, love, love), maple cream pie, pumpkin pie (because Naomi is insisting on trying one piece) and candied cranberry chocolate tart.
Time to start my grocery list.
