A day later and I am still full – it could have something to do with that midnight snack of key-lime pie. :D It was so great to have all my family together for Thanksgiving and enjoy the fine meal – you know, the one we all spend 20 hours preparing for and one hour eating? But, it was a great success! Here was my menu:
- Brined Turkey (oh, so moist!)
- All-Purpose gravy (my mother-in-law ate it out of the bowl, she loved it so much!)
- Mashed sweet potatoes with orange and maple (delicious when cold, too)
- Mashed potatoes (I used a food mill to get the perfectly smooth texture)
- Saffron Rice with Corn (a Honduras tradition—very, very yummy!)
- Rolls (can’t have enough carbs!)
- Maple-Pecan pie
- Key-Lime Pie
- Cherry Pie
- Blueberry Pie
The leftovers are overwhelming, but a nice turkey panini is quick to solve any anxiety of what to do! I am heading to the kitchen now to make a nice batch of pecan sweet rolls, the perfect brunch to relax after a long two-day kitchen stint.
