I know it is a little early, but Thanksgiving Day is my favorite holiday (not including our Birthday of course). I love it because I get to share one of my favorite things I love to do, which is cook, with the people I love. It's a holiday about being with the people you love and there are no gifts involved. I have tons of recipes and will gladly share them all with you. This is my traditional menu:
1. Prime Rib
2. Deep Fried Turkey (My BILs now make this)
3. Stuffing
4. Mashed Potatoes
5. Cranberry Relish
6. Steamed Broccoli
7. Corn on the Cob
8. Cucumber & Tomato Balsamic Salad
9. Gravy (I use canned...this is one thing I always screw up)
10. Wine Braised Venison
Appetizers I make (I confiscate these around 2 pm)
1. Seafood Bruschetta
2. Jalepeno, Artichoke dip
3. Guacamole
4. Salsa
Dessert
1. Butterfinger Chocolate Cake
2. Neapolitan Mud Pie
3. My sister's buy a pumpkin and berry pie too
With the exception of 4 or 5 years, Every year since I was 14 everyone comes over my house around 10 we watch football while I cook and everyone eats.
This year I will be going to my aunt's house in Tarzana and we are doing a potluck. If you happen to live in the area and would like to join a crazy family for Thanksgiving please PM me. The more the merrier and no one should be alone on Turkey Day!
What do you do for Thanksgiving and what's your favorite thing to eat?
