What I'm Reading This Week #35
Howdy do and happy last Friday of August! I hope you had a good week and if your weather was like ours, it was FINALLY under 93 degrees. Don't get me wrong, I know sweater weather isn't here but it was nice to not have the AC working overtime (set to 76) starting at 11am every day! It was nice to not walk out to water the garden and walk into a wall of humidity so I will take what I can get. Speaking of which: With this 3" San Marzano , I shall be able to make enough sauce to cover 7.3 spaghetti noodles. 😒 Now let's get to: How to Stock Your Pantry for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes (Ooh, I need to crockpot some black beans for some sweet potato black bean burritos.)

Thanksgiving for me must include turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing. Anything else in addition to those 3 is great, but I have never had a single Thanksgiving go by without those 3 must haves and it would not be Thanksgiving without them for me.
ReplyDeleteMy kids need to have my stuffing so I take it if celebrating away from home.
ReplyDeleteNo one else likes green bean casserole. Mom and dad would be fine with sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes, but that's not ok.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's making the stuffing with sauteed onions and celery. I also make a box of either cranberry bread (cranberry/orange if I can find it but that's very hard to find nowadays), pumpkin, or banana bread. I used to make all three and split them up for my mom in slices so she could freeze them and take them out as she liked. Have done that since I was a teenager, and I just stuck to that tradition. =o)
ReplyDeleteTurkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. And it must be the turkey/stuffing recipe we've used for 4-5 generations.
ReplyDeleteIf the only thing served were a pan of cornbread dressing made using my grandmother's recipe, both my mom and I would be just fine!
ReplyDeleteMany years ago I asked everyone what they wanted for Tgiving dinner and I only cooked that. Cranberries and stuffing (for example) were not on anyone’s list. I stopped making them.
ReplyDeleteThis year my youngest (21) is in charge of polling.
And I told her to tell everyone, if it is not on the list, do not assume I am making it, including a turkey.
So far the list has eggplant Parmesan, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, pie.
Sweet potato casserole!
