Holiday preparedness

 

It's been a strange year, but the Holiday season is approaching fast. Plan ahead and get your Turkeys, Hams and other festive meal items early. If nothing else, we should enjoy a traditional family holiday meal with all the comforts we are used to. For my family, Thanksgiving looks like this - 

Turkey, dressing/stuffing (but not in the turkey), corn casserole (yummy, made with jiffy cornbread mix), cheesy cauliflower and broccoli bake, mashed potatoes with turkey gravy, my father in laws cranberry recipe, hot dinner rolls with butter, pickles, black and green olives, and cole slaw. 

I make the cranberries and cole slaw a day before. For dessert, it's a pumpkin roll, a pumpkin pie and sometimes ice cream (we love ice cream). We eat till we can't move and there are always plenty of leftovers. We love eating the left overs for days! 

The wish bone from the Thanksgiving Turkey is saved for Christmas where our two daughters aged 12 years apart, fight to the death (relax, they don't really, it's just our family joke) for the bigger break of the wish bone. 

In this photo is our Vidalia Onion dressing (would be amazing on a turkey), Garlic infused oil and rustic herb seasoning. Order these items here 

I love cooking this meal!
