What I’m making for Thanksgiving
There’s no debating that this year’s Thanksgiving looks different. People are opting out of traveling, and smaller gatherings are the norm. The media has given us permission to make this year simple and even to skip the turkey! But keeping it small doesn’t mean you can’t be creative. You may find that you have more time together since everyone can work from home and there’s nowhere to go. I say this is the year to try new twists on side dishes, prepare your turkey a new way or make several desserts to be eaten throughout the week.
Dessert for breakfast (part 2)
Cranberry orange scones and Thanksgiving morning pie
My favorite morning routine this time of year is to sit quietly by the fireplace and enjoy a cup of coffee and a warm scone in all its buttery gloriousness. Pretty close to perfection. This is how I plan to start my Thanksgiving day. I’ll take my time and look leisurely through the lists I’ve made and figure out my prep and oven schedule for the day. When everyone else wanders down the stairs, they can help themselves to coffee and cranberry-orange scones, yogurt and homemade granola studded with dried cranberries, or dare I say, pumpkin pie!
