What Are You Making for Thanksgiving?

November 22, 2015 by Melissa

I want to know!! What are you making for Thanksgiving?! Are you making the whole shebang or are you going to someone else’s house and bringing one dish? I am dying to know what you’ll make! 

I have a handful of recipes written down that I started tackling this weekend and I have a game plan to get the rest done on Thursday (ie hand over recipes to my husband and brother+sister in law). BUT I have been seeing SO many delicious recipes all over the internet and I just had to share a few ideas with you! If I had all of the hands, time and money in the world, I’d make them ALL! [Note: these recipes aren’t all gluten-free, but if I made them I’d certainly make a gluten-free version.]

I’m personally planning on making: a gluten-free stuffing and gravy, two pies and a cake, cranberries, a salad, green beans with almonds and garlic and potato casserole.

Ok I’m sure there are a thousand more recipes that have caught your eye! I’d love to hear what they are. And if you need any help, please don’t hesitate to ask me! 

Note: last Thanksgiving I Spatchcocked my turkey just like in the Bon Appeit method shown in that first picture! It turned out AMAZING and I plan on doing that again next year too! ALL of the skin gets crispy, the bird cooks quicker and the whole dang thing is tasty and moist! A real crowd pleaser.

    I’m not the main cook tomorrow, so will be brining my Muhammara Spice Red Pepper Dip along with a new app recipe I will be concocting. Will be sure to have some leftovers for my Orzo with Leftover Turkey and Sweet Potatoes. I don’t want to be too spammy and leave the links 🙂 they should be fairly easy to find on Cooking Chat if anyone is interested.
