I’m a dad who
likes to cook, and the older I get Thanksgiving is becoming more and more one
of my favorite holidays. Even though I’m not hosting this year, I’m still
planning on cooking a few things. Here’s a rundown of some of what we’ll be
having:
- Turkey– I heard the other day that 95% of all Americans
have Turkey on Thanksgiving. If you’re having issues, here’s the Butterball Turkey-Talk Line
(1-800-BUTTERBALL).
- Roasted
Butternut Squash Soup – A big success last year, it’s even better if you make it
the day before.
- Mashed
Potatoes – I made this garlic version last year which came out well, probably
because it uses 3 sticks of butter and 1½ cups of heavy cream.
- Green Bean
Casserole – A holiday classic I still love.
- Grilled
Asparagus – No recipe here. Just skewer the asparagus into little rafts, season
with salt, pepper, olive oil and grill.
- Shrimp
Toast – An appetizer I’ll prepare a few days beforehand and freeze before
cooking.
- Vietnamese
Grilled Beef and Basil Rolls – An appetizer from the Barbecue Bible and one of my wife’s favorites.
- Similac Advance
Infant Formula with Iron – Strictly for Madame.
