Thanksgiving to Make a Pilgrim Proud-Part 1 Turkey and Stuffing

I’ve been pondering ways to simplify the feast this year. Maybe focus more on family than food. Look back to a time when things were simpler and maybe consider making things a bit healthier this year. Is it really necessary to go into a food induced coma and pass out on the couch after your Thanksgiving meal? I don’t know, call me old fashioned but I kind of like the idea of being a bit less over the top this year. Less really is more. 🙂
No need to sacrifice flavor though! I think you will find these recipes to be easy, straightforward and doable. Not overwhelming. Plan ahead a little and you can delight your family with a Thanksgiving meal that would do a Pilgrim proud!

Easter: An Easy and Elegant Menu

I LOVE cooking on holidays. I know lots of you probably dread it, but if you have some dependable recipes and don’t put too much pressure on yourself to get super-fancy, you can produce a great meal that will satisfy everyone and not be too much work for you. The key is planning and keeping a list handy of what you need to do. I make a pretty detailed list because I tend to forget the important things like ‘set the table’ which causes me to rush around like a crazy woman when everyone arrives. So, keep it simple, make your list (preferably the night before) and get cooking!
