It’s time to start talking turkey!\u00a0 Halloween is over, and everyone’s thoughts head towards Thanksgiving.\u00a0 My nine year old says that Thanksgiving is the lost holiday crammed between Halloween and Christmas that everyone forgets.\u00a0 I’m starting to think he’s right.\u00a0 They have started playing Christmas music before Halloween.\u00a0 Will they start advertising for Easter in December?\u00a0 Sorry–that’s a whole other blog article!<\/p>\n

In our family, Thanksgiving is all about tradition.\u00a0 My mom makes the most wonderful pumpkin pies and dressing, and of course–homemade rolls.\u00a0 My siblings and I bring side dishes and the fruit\/vegetable tray.\u00a0 Everyone brings their favorite beverage to share.\u00a0 We share family favorites that we do not have at any other time of the year.\u00a0 I always bring my Mother-in-laws sweet potatoes’ recipe, and her green bean recipe.\u00a0 It’s the one with 3 pounds of Velveeta in it.\u00a0 This recipe has been in past blogs if you are brave enough to give them a try!<\/p>\n

When looking at our traditional meal, I didn’t want to change anything, so I added a few things instead.\u00a0 For example, I found this wonderful recipe from King Arthur Flour for New England Thanksgiving Bread<\/a>.\u00a0 I gave it a try last night–it turned out fine–just needed to rise longer than I decided to let it.\u00a0 It was tasty for breakfast.\u00a0 Maybe this could be added instead of dinner rolls to your menu?<\/p>\n

The other recipe was sent to me via Facebook from a friend.\u00a0 It was a Baked Oatmeal <\/a>recipe from Cooking Light in 2003.\u00a0 It was being reposted by MyRecipes for Let’s Move<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 In short–that means that it is healthier.\u00a0 I was thinking Thanksgiving morning, this would be terrific.\u00a0 Served warm or cold, it is a great dish.\u00a0 I am going to add it to our day, so I won’t be tempted to knosh before dinner!<\/p>\n
