This month I’m switching it up a bit. I’m going to show you a few menus for Thanksgiving dinners, but I’m also going to spend the month testing recipes for all sorts of traditional Thanksgiving dinner foods. By the end of the month, you’ll have an entire meal full of things to try on November 26th.
In addition to traditional things like turkey and pumpkin pie, I’m going to sneak in a few surprises, too. We’ll discover new ways to prepare some of our favorite traditional dishes and we’ll use some rationing recipes to help us round out the menu.
If you aren’t in the United States, these recipes will be great for any holiday dinner you might be anticipating this year. If you have any requests, please let me know and I’ll do my best to include them this month.
