At our house we gather as a family for a weekend of family time with our special Thanksgiving meal on Sunday allowing time for those needing travel time home. Our 2012 Thanksgiving typical of our holiday meal over the years. ‘2012 - The cabbage rolls are made, enough dressing to make for leftovers all ready to go, the turkey is thawing. The ham is baked. Yams, turnips and freshly dug carrots and potatoes in the coldroom, fridge filled with fresh vegetables and salad makings. Pickles, homemade salad dressings, cranberries and pumpkin pies. Beautiful flowers gracing the tables’
These days the travel miles see to a much smaller gathering but turkey and the trimmings remain a given. I had planned to also roast a duck as well but decided to leave it until November 22 and celebrate along with our friends to the south.
This week sees the turkey in the freezer along with our traditional cabbage rolls, this morning the last of the fall apples made into pies and into the freezer ready to pop in the oven on the weekend as well as making and freezing the shells for the pumpkin pies. Having had my cookbooks packed I finally have my Blue Ribbon Cookbook which dates back to early 1900's close at hand and making the old fashioned pumpkin pie I remember from my childhood days.
Today sharing some of our favorite holiday recipes, since I like adding a new to us recipe or two I hope you will come and in share some of your favorites!
Turkey and gravy and of course dressing a given,
