Danny’s Thanksgiving Feast Includes…

In our house we like to eat!

Since March we have been cooking our way through an Alex Guarnaschelli cookbook. We have learned that she likes to cook with spice and lots of salt! And everyone in our house loves to cook.

During the year our dinners revolve around the main course but on Thanksgiving the turkey takes a back seat to all the sides. We talked about not making a turkey this year, but then remembered that we will need the turkey fat in order to make gravy (an absolute must have). This year we will not be celebrating with our extended family, but instead just making dinner for the 4 of us. This has not changed our plan on what we will be making and eating. Leftovers are always welcome.

Things we MUST have at Thanksgiving dinner:

Warm Butternut Squash & Cheddar Dip: CLICK FOR RECIPE

This dip is great all winter long!

Artichoke, Sausage, & Parmesan cheese stuffing: CLICK FOR RECIPE

My kids love to take the leftover stuffing and press it in the waffle maker. Making a delicious stuffing waffle, with a perfect fired egg on top.

Turkey Gravy: CLICK FOR RECIPE 

This is really the only reason to roast a turkey.
