Thanksgiving Ideas
Here’s an easy but fancy shmancy idea for Thanksgiving, or any turkey dinner. I always make homemade cranberry sauce. It’s so easy and people love it.
Put 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Add 1 whole bag of cranberries. Boil until the cranberries pop and it starts to foam. Allow to cool then refrigerate. You’ll need to make this a day a head. You can even make it a few days in advance.
To me, dinner rolls make all the difference. I like them a little warm, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.
Another side dish we always had growing up was mashed turnips and carrots. It’s such a great looking dish too, very orange. It’s a great change from butternut squash. Although, I should be pushing the squash because there are many farms in my town that grow thousands of pounds of butternut squash each year.
Whatever your traditions, enjoy the day. Give thanks for what you have and give a little extra to those less fortunate than you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
