Our Simple Thanksgiving Menu
November 22, 2011
Thanksgiving meals at our house usually center on what we grow, what strikes our fancy and what is simple. It could be steak, pork roast or turkey. We settled on a traditional type meal this year except we’re substituting chicken for turkey, and we splurged on some local, small farm cranberries.
The menu:
Roast Chicken
Sage and Sausage Stuffing
Cranberry Sauce
Potato and Celery Root mash
Braised Brussels Sprouts with bacon and apple
Kohlrabi slaw
Pumpkin Pie with hazelnut praline
pickles?
A summer of growing before the eating…
Happy Thanksgiving!

Sounds delicious! The dogs are already napping to save room for the leftovers, I can tell.
Oh I am so jealous! I love that you grew/ produced everything on the menu! You are an amazing woman! I hope one day I can be as self sustaining as you. Cheers
Loving the post – even the dog is in a food coma:) A meal in your home would be a true experience because everything is fresh and home grown. I sometimes miss the farm, especially raising and growing what you eat because you know what is in it!
Sorry, one more thing. Have a Happy Thanksgiving:)
Ooh! Recipes Please!
Sow, grow, reap and eat, plus all the other things that go along and into it. Great smile, too.
Happy Thanksgiving!
You are such a showoff!, you and your camera. I am writhing in envy.
You must be especially thankful when you know what effort you’ve put into your meal.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Enjoy. Thanks for all your generous sharing – you’re helping and encouraging a lot of people here.
It all looks so wonderful! I am looking forward to having a similar Thanksgiving next year. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, including the furry ones!
Loved the photos of how your food grew!
Here we no longer do traditional, as no one cares that much for turkey. Each year is different. This year:
Pork tenderloin medallions (ours)
Pumpkin pudding (eggs and pumpkin ours)
Baked yams
Cranberry-orange relish
Peach applesauce
Rolls
Eggnog
Bacon wrapped scallops (bacon ours)
Ice cream for DH
I wish more of it was ours, but a good deal is very local.
hello
your thanksgiving meal sounds very delicious.
