Thanksgiving wishes and recipes.

This Thanksgiving as usual, my family is getting together and having lunch buffet style. Everyone brings a dish to share and we eat, play games, and usually go for a walk. This is what I made/making. (seeing how I still have stuff in the oven)

Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower.

• Brussels sprouts, halved, cauliflower cut biteable size. 
• Enough olive oil to drizzle over
• 1 Tbsp caraway seeds 
• Salt and pepper

Spread the cabbage cousins (Brussels and Caulies) on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the caraway seeds, and salt and pepper to taste. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes. 

Green Bean Casserole, from scratch. 

I use Alton Browns recipe, but instead of using fresh beans and blanching them, I use frozen beans and I just rinse them in hot water until they are de-thawed since they are pre-blanched. Everyone always loves it, well, except for me, (I hate mushrooms). You can find the recipe here. 

Cranberry Blueberry Smoothie. 

This was my breakfast. 

• one cup of frozen blueberries
• a small handful of cranberries
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1tsp of vanilla powder or extract. 
• enough water to cote 

Blend and enjoy. :)
