*Monday: Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas (thanks to my sister)
*Tuesday: We didn't end up having Lasagna last Sunday, so tonight we'll have Butternut Squash Lasagna...YUM!
*Wednesday: Leftovers & baking pies! I'll be making Apple Pie with THIS crust (with apple cider vinegar??!! Can't wait to try!) & Coconut Cream Pie
*Thursday: The Big Day! My menu today was sort of inspired by an episode of "Throwdown" that I happened to watch. Bobby Flay battled Ree Drummond (Pioneer Woman), and SHE won! The food all looked amazing, so we'll see how it tastes. We'll be eating:
-Simple Turkey (I don't even do anything to mine. Maybe a little salt & pepper. I've had brined/seasoned/plain turkeys before, and they all taste equally as yummy to me! So I'm sticking with simple this year)
-Stuffing-I'll use a classic recipe similar to THIS one.
-Mashed Potatoes & gravy (I just make this up with the turkey drippings, flour, salt & pepper)
-Sweet Potatoes (simple again. I roast mine in the oven with a little butter & brown sugar until they are soft & golden)
-Brussels Sprouts (I have to have something green! And we don't do green bean casserole around here...)
-Cornbread Pudding
-Rolls
-2 pies (see yesterday's post)
-Pumpkin Bread Pudding (I know it's crazy, we're not having pumpkin pie. But this looks DELICIOUS, and I'm using the excuse that when I do my big turkey dinner on Christmas Eve, I'll make pumpkin pie then.)
*Friday: Are you kidding? Leftovers for the rest of the weekend..... ;)

Hey I was thinking of making your homemade granola for Christmas gifts this year and looked up the recipe. Noticed some of the comments with recommendations-- wondered if you change anything or just make as is.
I actually make it as is. Some of the reviews have good ideas, but I think it's super tasty just how it's written. Yum!
Sara. Just a random thought as I found your blog through a comment on Claire's blog and clicked randomly. First, how do you know Claire? Second, you are Tristram's sister, correct? I married Nate one of Tristram's former roommates. I think we met a couple times in the past. Last, you have a cooking blog? so cute! I do too, check it out. And i'll be stopping back by here often.
