Thanksgiving Fake Out
Last week I was getting a bit anxious for Thanksgiving. Every magazine I read was filled with Thanksgiving recipes. There were brined turkeys, rubbed turkeys, buttered turkeys, Sweet potato pies and hash, and then there was Cornread Stuffing, Apple Stuffing, and more variations than I can remember. I just knew that I wanted to have a little Thanksgiving just the two of us. I wasn't about to roast a turkey but I did have Steve's Nana's Stuffing to try out and I also wanted to try mashed sweet potatoes. So with a little help from the grocery store I had my Thanksgiving fake out. I bought some oven roasted turkey and some gravy (don't judge!!!) and a fabulous Ecce Panis Boule (damn that bread is expensive!) and I was set. I toasted the bread and we had open faced turkey sandwiches with gravy alongside homemade stuffing and mashed sweet potatoes. It was a wonderful dinner that I would make again anytime. I also decided that these two sides will make it to the Thanksgiving menu. Recipes to come!

Too cute!! I'm actually planning to make a mini Thanksgiving dinner this weekend for me and my boyfriend. I'm so enticed by all the Thanksgiving recipes I've been seeing everywhere... I can't wait to try them out. We must have had the same thought process!
Me too! I can't stop buying magazines!!!! Can't wait to see what you make!
Far be it for me to judge...I still use Ragu on occasion. Your meal looks really good!
oh great...not only did you have a thanksgiving fake out...but you posted a recipe fake out too!! LMAO! Can't wait to get the recipe for the stuffing
There's nothing wrong with this fake out. Looks good to me.
Danielle you crack me up! The reason why I didn't post the stuffing recipe yet was because I got it over the phone and just the list of ingredients and I winged it. I want to actually see the recipe in my hand before I post it. I don't want to dishonor (is that even the appropriate word to use?) Steve's family recipe. lol
Beautiful!
As long as you promise to not buy that horrible stove top stuffing in a box there will be no judging here : )
oh michelle I need to get in the mood for turkey time. just not into it, yet. although I am eating a ton of butternut squash so maybe it'll happen? lol
Giovanna - You got a deal!
Dawn - I'd like to say you have plenty of time but you really don't! LOL
