My thanksgiving is in no way traditional, well actually it is but we just add things from our culture. We normally have:
Turkey (There is no other way to cook a turkey but to brine it!, last year I used to Emerils Recipe:
Brined, Herb Roasted Turkey Recipe : Emeril Lagasse : Food Network
and I use Alton Brown's cooking method :
Good Eats Roast Turkey Recipe : Alton Brown : Food Network
- I also love making this stuffing! It is amazing! -
Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing - Allrecipes
- Mashed Potatoes
- Sweet potato
Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Onions - Allrecipes
- Caesar Salad
- Green Bean Casserole
This is where we spice things up
We are Cuban so we make
- Pork
- Cassava (Yuca)
- Cuban Bread with butter and garlic
- Moro (Black bean rice)
For dessert we always have
-Flan
-Pumpkin Pie
- Sweet potato pie
- Arroz con leche
I am the one that normally does all of the cooking, I make things such as the desserts a few days in advance and do most of the prepwork the day before!
I love thanksgiving!
