Wow, it's been a little while since I've posted. And it's my favourite time of year! I think between being pregnant, working and wanting to eat and/or nap all the time, I've been a tad bit distracted. So let's start going again.
What's everyone doing for the weekend? Thanksgiving is my most favourite time of year and I'm doubly looking forward to it this year for a few reasons:
+ my brother and I now live in the same Province. Can you imagine? It's been 10 years since that has happened. So this year we get TWO Thanksgiving, one in Judique with him and one in Sydney with my other family!
+ I'm trying new recipes this year. Found inspiration in this dish (minus the purple cauliflower, haven't seen any of that for sale) as well as a wild rice, butternut squash, pumpkin seed salad. Yum! Throw in some brussel sprouts smothered in cheese and carmelized onions, my mom's cheesy 'Elsie's Potatoes' and my stuffing with cranberries, apple & walnuts? Oh my...
+ And, just for fun, I tried making pumpkin pie from scratch this year! Last year my friend Alexis (and speaking of she has some awesome Thanksgiving recipes over on her blog, check them out!) taught me her awesome pie making skills and this year I put them to use. If they turn out, they will seriously be the quickest and easiest things I've ever baked. I will post pictures.
So enjoy your weekend friends! Eat well and enjoy loved ones. Happy Thanksgiving!
that cauliflower gratin looks great, i must try it out too.
ReplyDeletewhat's this wild rice & squash salad you speak of? sounds magical!
I'm stealing inspiration from little kitsch kitchen at the market, she's selling one tomorrow... so I googled recipes and am throwing things together to see how it turns out! I'm thinking squash, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, wild rice on salad greens with a lemon/orange dressing. I'll let you know!
