I am starting this days preparation by giving thanks to God for all my blessings. I usually prep for our meal the night before, but last night I said, not tonight!!! I have the tv clicker all to myself! so what was usually prep night, became movie night with no intermissions!!! Hah! But now... Let the prepping begin. For my Thanksgiving, I prefer the traditional dinner my mom always prepared. I have to get my desserts out of the way. Loris mom is making the pumpkin pie. I will be doing moms special apple pie that jack requested. Then some fudge, rocky road & cookies. My stuffing is the traditional sausage, celery, onion, apple, bread, egg, water chestnuts. While the pie is baking, Ill pop the yams in to get them cooked ahead of time. I like putting, butter, pineapple chunks, orange zest, brown sugar, cinnamon in the baking dish with them. Fresh green beans and mushrooms, butter and lemon zest and juice. No cream of mushroom soup!!! The mashed potatoes are simple butter, can milk, salt and pepper. That way you can put gravy or not. The turkey is salt, pepper and soy sauce! Yes soy sauce! It makes an incredible addition to the flavor of the turkey and drippings! My salad is romaine, pomegranate, green onions, avocado, blue cheese, lite vinaigrette. Ah yes, and home made cranberry sauce. Got to get to getting! Happy thanksgiving!
