Week of: Thanksgiving (Plus My Thanksgiving Menu)

November 14, 2011

Can you believe Thanksgiving will be here in 11 days! Nope! I can’t either. I hope you enjoyed my tips, tricks, and recipes for helping get Thanksgiving dinner on the table (and more importantly in the bellies of hungry guests).

Below are all the recipes I featured this week and check out the bottom of this post for a sample Thanksgiving menu!

Easy Sausage Stuffing: This stuffing was so flavorful that you would never know it used a boxed stuffing mix. Plus check out this post for tips on hosting Thanksgiving on a budget.

No-Bake Cheesecake: Easy. Simple. Classic. And without a doubt a great dessert that will be devoured at any Thanksgiving feast!

Sweet and Savory Smashed Potatoes: Not a fan of the uber sweet, traditional sweet potato casserole, loaded with marshmallows and sugar? Well make this version. Loaded with bacon, a few onions and a hint of maple syrup! A blissful change to the traditional sweet potato casserole. Oh and if you ever wanted to know anything and everything about sweet potatoes check out this post.

Poultry Seasoning: This spice is used it a ton of recipes this time of year but don’t waste your money on a bottled mix and make your own!

Hearty Italian Tortellini Soup with Turkey: If you really want to impress your holiday guests don’t even bother with the main meal just make this soup. You’ll thank me later. I’ll put money on it! (I might also ramble on a bit about turkey cooking safety in this post too)

And here is how we do Thanksgiving here at Kitchen Concoctions:

Main Dish:
Aunt Marilyn’s Incredible Turkey
Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Ham

Asparagus with Garlic Vinaigrette
Eric’s Famous Mashed Potatoes
Easy Sausage Stuffing
Peach Pie Fruit Salad (this is a Thanksgiving family tradition for my fam)

Dessert:
