I’ve finally decided what to make for Thanksgiving. Here is my menu:
\n-Bread with olive oil, white balsamic vinegar & cream cheese
\n-Braised Chicken with bacon & bread stuffing (325, 2 hours)
\n-Traditional green beans casserole (350, 25′)
\n-Mashed potatoes
\n-Chevy’s corn tomalito (250, 2 hours)
\n-Persimmon bread (350, 1 hour)
\n-Apple pie
\nI want to have a semi-traditional thanksgiving, so that my 4-yo can start appreciating traditions, but I’m not a big fan of turkey. Plus, our friends Lola and Iggy will be coming to dinner after having a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at their family’s, so I want to offer them something somewhat different. Any suggestions\/comments?<\/p>\n
\nOK, so now I’ve been thinking just how I’m going to cook this. I’d like to serve dinner for us & the kids around 6 PM – and have the kids to bed before Lola & Iggy arrive. That said, if I’m early or late with food it’s no big deal. So…, let’s see.
\n11 AM: Prepare & bake persimmon bread (to: 12:30)
\n12 PM: Prepare and bake tomalito ( to 2:30 PM)
\n1 PM: Wash, cut & steam the green beans.
\n1:30 PM: Prepare stuffing and chicken
\n2:30 PM: Braise chicken (to 4:30-5)
\n3PM: Prepare apple pies
\n3:30 PM: Prepare green beans casserole
\n4 PM: Cook remaining stuffing & green bean casserole (to 4:30)
\n4:10 PM Boil potatoes
\n4:30 – 5 Remove chicken & prepare sauce
\n5 – 5:15 Roast chicken & brown stuffing
\nMash potatoes & make mashed potatoes.
\n5:30 Finish sauce & remove chicken from oven
\n5:35 Return green bean casserole & tomalito to warm
\n6 PM put apple pies in the oven
