A Not-So-Traditional Menu for Thanksgiving

Maybe it's just us, but did Thanksgiving sneak up on you this year? If so, we're here to help with your menu!
We've compiled some fun recipes that are spins on traditional Thanksgiving dishes so that whether you're cooking the entire dinner for family and friends or if you're signed up to bring dessert, you'll have something delicious to share.

Check out this tasty menu we've put together:

Smoky Paprika Bacon Roasted Turkey
Cooking on the Weekends
This would be acceptable at any party, right? Why limit this turkey to just the end of November?

Southwestern Green Bean Casserole
Plain Chicken
This recipe adds one simple ingredient to an otherwise "regular" casserole...and it looks delicious!

Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Casserole
CincyShopper
Can you imagine how wonderful your kitchen house would smell if you made this?

Loaded Mac & Cheese
Lemon Tree Dwelling
There are so many delicious variations of macaroni and cheese...but this one is loaded with extra flavor! And yes, even though it looks like potatoes, that really is mac & cheese!
We can't wait to try this recipe soon...

For Dressing and Cranberry in one, check out
Cornbread Sausage Stuffing (Dressing) with Cranberry and Pecans
Carlsbad Cravings
We love a delicious traditional dressing (who doesn't?), but doesn't this one sound extra savory?

Three Ingredient Cranberry Brie Bites
Tablespoon
We speak from experience when we say, "Don't expect there to be many (or any...) leftovers if you make these miniature sweet and tart bites! (Also, they are best right out of the oven after the brie has cooled...but also delicious after being in the fridge). If you can't find the rolled puff pastry, canned crescent rolls cut in half also work!

Holiday Punch
Dole
This sweet & tangy drink will be loved by everyone at your party! If you want it a little sweeter, increase the pineapple juice and decrease the cranberry juice.


Last but not least.....dessert. :) We couldn't pick just one (so we didn't ;) ).

Pecan Pie Cake Roll
Home Made Interest
If you don't think this looks delicious, we're sure that the person you sit next to at dinner would be more than happy to eat your portion for you. Such a fun twist (no pun intended) on a classic pecan pie!

And these!!
Chocolate Caramel Turkey Legs
Culinary Envy
These are adorable! The blog author said they make them with the kids during their Thanksgiving party...because that's how simple to make they are.

Now that you know what you're making for your dinner party this week, do you need some extra seating? If so, give us a call and we'll make sure everyone at your party has a place to relax while they dig into that bacon wrapped turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! We're so thankful for our customers who are like family to us and we hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family this week.
