After much thought, and even more shopping, I've figured out what I'm making for Thanksgiving. It's pretty traditional this year, flavor wise, but there's no turkey and the focus is definitely on autumn vegetables. I'm excited to cook it all and eat with my family.
Menu:
Roasted ginger-squash soup
Salad with pears and blue cheese
Mashed celery root and potatoes with chives
Roast sweet potato purée with bourbon
Green Beans with breadcrumbs and lemon
Mushroom walnut bread stuffing
Roast chicken with sage
Gravy
Cranberry sauce
Julia's Dessert (via four and twenty blackbirds):
Salted Caramel Apple Pie
Pretty delicious sounding, right? I'm also going to brine the chicken for the first time. Wish me luck!
