A New Thanksgiving Tradition

We are officially in "Holiday Season" everyone!  Personally, I love the holidays.  This is the time when I can really let my creativity flow freely and not get crazy looks.  Speaking on creativity, that is the topic of discussion.

Typically we go to my Aunts house for Thanksgiving and she prepares the feast and everyone brings side dishes.  This year that is not the case so it will just be my family and my Mom for Thanksgiving.  This is why I have decided to do a pretty different dinner. 

Here is the planned menu (so far):
  • Individual Cornish game hens prepared two ways; half brine and roasted, and the other half wrapped in bacon.  These will be topped with a bacon gravy.
  • Pomegranate & honey glazed ham.
  • The real deal green bean casserole made entirely from scratch.
  • Individual au gratin potato casseroles.
  • Ginger & orange spiced cranberries
  • My Mother's fruit salad with my twist of toasted coconut on top.
Dessert will be a surprise but there will be at least one buttermilk pie included!

Remember my motto, "follow my food" and never be afraid to try something new in the kitchen!
