I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Wish you and your family good health and good eat!

I only made up my mind 2 weeks ago that I was going to cook for thanksgiving again this year! I didn’t really know what to cook because I wanted to have something different. I checked online and googled for different recipes, I only did one new dish: wild rice with Pumpkin salad, others pretty much the same like before. I think if I am going to cook again next year, I will do at least 3 new side dishes.

Brine Turkey

This turkey I bought was super skinny, after roasting, the bone in the middle of breasts was popping out. I brined the bird for 3 days so it was so juicy and delicious.

Wild Rice With Pumpkin Salad

This is the new dish for year 2017. I expected it to be super delicious, it was, but it took me forever to cook the rice. Next time I will soak it in water overnight to see if it will cook faster.

Carrot with maple syrup

Brussels sprouts with bacon

Cornbread stuffing with sausage

Gravy

I added some Cavit Pinot Grigio to my gravy and the flavor was so good! I think I will continue to use it whenever I make gravy.

Orange flavor cranberry sauce

Mushed potatoes with cheese

Creme Brulee
