In less than a week it will be “Turkey Day”…….a day to celebrate all that you are thankful for…….and eat, eat, eat!!!!!
I am sure you are all preparing your grocery lists and heading to the store to buy all that you need for the upcoming festivities…….BUT WAIT!!!!! Before you head out, check out these recipes from What the “Forks” for Dinner?
First, you need appetizers……a.k.a. snacks, this will keep folks from hovering around you asking when is dinner ready……..
Marinated Mozzarella just add some crackers and you are good to go. Make the Marinated Mozzarella a few days ahead so the flavors really get into the cheese.
Fruity Snack Mix perfect to just grab a handful and much. Bonus… it can be made well in advance.
The main dish of course has to be the bird……Thanksgiving Turkey Roll. This was soooo good, and again you can make this ahead, just by one day though, just pop it in the oven for about an hour and its good to go.
You will need side dishes, and Green Bean Casserole is classic, my recipe is a version of the classic…….no canned soup!
Not so classic, but a pretty addition… and a cold salad Dijon Carrot Salad is colorful and light.
And what is Thanksgiving without Cranberry Sauce
Forget the canned sauce……this is so much better,
and it can be made up to 10 days ahead……..that’s right…….. ten days!!!
Dessert….while everyone says “Oh I’m stuffed and can’t eat another bite……..there is always room for pie! How about candy bar pie……a break with tradition. Butterfinger Pie or Kit Kat Pie are equally delicious.
We at What the “Forks” for Dinner? wish you and your an very Happy Thanksgiving!
