Question of the Week - How will you celebrate Thanksgiving and your favorite

[Guest guest]

This time your question of the week will be answered later Judy, we

still don't know what we are doing as far as traveling or hosting.

There is even a possibility of us going camping in the desert just

with the dogs as well. In either case, I am thinking peach pies (from

our own preserved peaches), something made with pecans (from our

tree), and something made from butternut squash (several in storage

from garden bounty). There might be bounty from outside the garden as

well, my DSO's employer sometimes distributes 'excess' food from

filming food commercials and there is a food filming job just before

Thanksgiving.

This year we are having Thanksgiving at our house. It will only be

myself, my husband, my Dad and Step Mom. Small but wonderful. The

meal will be mainly vegetarian. With a small amount of food for those

who eat different, but I know my Step Mom will try whatever I make in

place of my turkey.

 

Hugs,

Mindy

I'll be going to my parents' house, and hopefully we'll be having a

nice family dinner with the grandparents. I'm looking forward to

taking home some new recipes to try out and share! Also might

experiment with Tofurkey, but I'm a little skeptical.

Thanksgiving is next week! I was not able to answer the QOTW since we

did not know our plans yet....we are going camping to the desert and

taking the 4 dogs. (We will 'do' family for Christmas).

 

I asked about the menu, and baked butternut squash ravioli were

requested. How am I going to do this while camping I still don't

know, but I am pretty sure we'll figure out how to improvise an oven

at the campsite...LOL. Hey, at least I can't complain that my cooking

is under-challenged...

 

The raviolis are really good, I posted them here but I will re-post

since we have so many new members and this works out great for a

holiday vegetarian main dish. It does work better if you are in a

house with an oven (and a stove top is nice too)

That sounds like a wonderful trip, you could take a telescope and do some star

gazing!

 

The raviolis look delicious!  They also would freeze well I'd think.  You could

freeze cooked portions then just warm up over the fire in a foil or parchment

pouch!

 

Have fun on your trip and thanks for the recipe
