One of the biggest food holidays is just around the corner. Let’s chat about it!
What does your spread include? Any cool family favorite dishes? Any interesting spins on an old favorite you want to share? Trying anything new this time? I especially love hearing about the quirks of each families traditional spread.
For me, something interesting I am going to include on the table this year is Charleston Red Rice. I was looking for an interesting and unexpected side that didn’t stray too far from the flavor profile of a traditional meal. Also, wanted to include a grain based dish as my family never does lol. And it’s a dish I know for certain a few people attending will love. Also, a funny thing about my thanksgiving history…I didn’t have green bean casserole until I was in my mid-20s. No one in my family liked it, so it was never included lol.
So what’s going on with you and your Thanksgiving feast this year?
Ooh, smoking is also delicious. I am usually in charge of the protein because nobody else wants to deal with it, and everyone has loved the sous vide. Makes me the defacto turkey person.
Good on you! We have a defacto meat person too. My sister-in-law’s dad (so I guess married in father-in-law?) likes to take on the meat, though in our case he insists lol.
