This Thanksgiving we had some of the family out and in usual Mimi fashion, I went all out all weekend. I pretty much had some sort of food plan for each day they were here. I go pretty crazy over the Thanksgiving holiday. I plan ahead...FAR AHEAD. I have a binder and in that binder are recipes that have been successful, previous menus, and room for new menus and shopping lists.
The above photo is the delicious sticky buns that I made from a recipe in Cooking Light. My plan for this post is to share my favs from the weekend and maybe you will make them too. The holiday season is just beginning - so these recipes will be great from now until the new year!
Spiced Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Glaze - the photo above. This was very easy to make and they kept well as day olds.
This was a Graham Cracker Crust Pumpkin Pie with Marshmallow Meringue. The original recipe is from Bon Appetit, but they made it with Sweet Potatoes. You can go either way. I followed the recipe for the crust and the meringue but filled it with pumpkin. It was a great way to eat pumpkin pie and a good change from the norm. Click here for the recipe!
Since I didn't take a picture of my stuffing that I made - I robbed it from Bon Appetit: Spinach, Fennel, and Sausage Stuffing. I did make this, but substituted the sausage for a chicken and roasted red pepper sausage from Trader Joes. I also went all out and made the Brioche. It turned out awesome! I also fried it up the next day and added an egg over easy to the top - made for a dang delicious breakfast.
Until the next time...Turkey Noodle Soup!
