For the holiday, I smuggled a car load of groceries across the state line and cooked Thanksgiving dinner in Kansas for my family. We were there for five days and not once did I open my laptop nor grab my camera to snap a single photo. I regret not taking any photos, but please follow along via some older images.
I hope by now that this post finds everyone stuffed and enjoying turkey sandwiches.
On Thanksgiving day, we were invited over to our friends Greg and Cauleen’s house along with our friend Mike. Traditional turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing and gravy were on the table, but I wanted to share a couple of unique side dishes that found their way onto her beautiful table.
First of all, Cauleen is from Pennsylvania where they call the traditional dish of bread crumbs, celery and spices “filling“. I call it “dressing” and Mike calls it “stuffing“. What do you call it?
A few weeks ago, I won the beautiful, and I mean beautiful cookbook from Barbara over at Movable Feasts. Thank you so much Barbara, you don’t know how many hours I’ve spent reading, studying and planning out of this book. It’s “Around My French Table” by Dorie Greenspan. If you don’t have it you may want to put it on your Amazon wish list so Santa has time to get it under the tree. Beautiful 500 page cookbook with lots of gorgeous photos and wonderful recipes.
I can’t believe I’m nearing my 100th post. To celebrate, I’ll be giving away one of my favorite cookbooks, Colorado Cache. The Junior League of Denver has been putting out some very popular and highly sought after cookbooks since 1978. The first being Colorado Cache. Proceeds from the sale of these cookbooks are all returned to our community for charitable purposes.
Colorado Cache is a collection of over 700 recipes selected from approximately 2,800 submitted. Each recipe was taste tested and enthusiastically approved by 12 separate tasting committees.
