To all my fellow American citizens: Happy Thanksgiving! We’ll be having the traditional Turkey and the rest that’s been traditional for my side of the family, well, the things I’ve loved to continue, minus the things I haven’t \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Stuffing and gravy, mashed potatoes, cauliflower, green been casserole, sweet potato casserole, rolls, Cranberry sauce (yes, the icky gelled canned version — goes great with turkey!), cheese sauce, and to top it off, pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n
We’re at the In-law’s for the holiday. I’m doing the cooking. I love doing this. It’s the easiest meal to make in such a lavish fashion. I know that many ladies are intimidated by this meal, and by the turkey they are supposed to be roasting. I don’t get that, it’s very easy.<\/p>\n
If anyone needs help, consult a cook book or Butterball, they have a hotline<\/a> and a website<\/a> packed full of info if you need it. You don’t have to have purchased a Butterball brand turkey for them to help you. Give them a call if you need help!<\/p>\n I personally prefer a naturally grown and fresh killed turkey. We had two last year and they were great. This year we are away, and doing the supermarket variety. I highly recommend y’all look into a farm fresh bird next time you need or want one. They are superior in the way they taste and the texture of the meat and the way they cook.<\/p>\n Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To all my fellow American citizens: Happy Thanksgiving!
