Thanksgiving - my favorite holiday of the entire year - is this Thursday! I will not actually be cooking, as Mike and I will be visiting family in South Carolina. But I figure there might be a few people out there looking for last-minute ideas of delicious things to make and share this Thanksgiving. Below are some ideas from past posts that just might be exactly what you need! To those who are cooking, good luck and remember to have fun! And, if all else fails, just be sure to have plenty of wine on-hand. To those, like me, who are just consuming, remember to thank those who have worked hard to ensure you have a scrumptions meal and lend a hand with the dirty dishes!
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Cinnamon Crema is a great appetizer for your family and friends. Make the soup and crema on Tuesday or Wednesday and then just rewarm when you are ready to serve on Thanksgiving. Like the apple cider, the flavors will just get better!
A big basket of Nana's Oatmeal Rolls are always on my family's Thanksgiving table. This is another recipe that you can make on Tuesday or Wednesday and then rewarm prior to serving. They also make perfect little vesels for consuming Thanksgiving leftovers.
Ahh, Bittersweet Chocolate Pecan Pie. This is my twist on the Southern classic, where the chocolate actually helps make this pie a bit less sweet and a lot more delicious and balanced. Be sure to make the pie crust a few days ahead - you want to give the butter plenty of time to get really cold again, yielding a perfectly flaky crust.
Whether you serve this Bourbon Ice Cream on its own or with a slice of Bittersweet Chocolate Pecan Pie, your tastebuds will be rejocing with some of the best Southern flavors.
