Thanksgiving 2020

For 2020, we’ll be trying to have as normal of a Thanksgiving as possible. This year will be my second year cooking dinner, and I have many new foods planned for this meal. Last year, was the standard three: turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, then we also had some crescents and 2 different veggies. This year, I am planning a sweet potato casserole, glazed and roasted beets, crescents again, and frozen green beans from this summer’s garden. This year I also made a pumpkin pie that we’ll be having with our dinner. Once the day is over, Friday, I’ll also be boiling the bones to make stock again this year. This year’s stock will be frozen like before, however this stock will likely be used almost strictly entirely for gravy.

Pumpkin Bread

Advertisements

Pumpkin bread is another simple way to use up any extra pumpkin you may still have. I roasted my pumpkins before I blended it into a puree for these pumpkin recipes. This bread has lots of seasonal flavor and is very easy to make. This bread has good moisture, a good bread/cake texture, and is not overly sweet. I was able to make 3 loaves from this recipe, however, I only filled my pans half way, so if you want bigger loaves, just fill your pans a more, but leave about 1/2 an inch for expansion. This bread is also very similar to a zucchini bread, just with pumpkin and with festive spices!

Spiced Dessert Bread

Advertisements

Nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon are your staple spices of fall into winter. These spices remind everyone of this crisp time of year. This bread was made to be more of a dessert than your standard bread, but it’s not so sweet you couldn’t enjoy it with a cup of coffee for breakfast. This bread stands alone as a sweet bread, or can be pair with a scoop of vanilla bean and some warm apple topping. This recipe makes one standard loaf, or 14-16 slices.

Tuna Croquettes

Advertisements

Tuna Croquettes is an easy and flavorful dish. Simply mix the ingredients together, coat in crumb, and fry. The tuna flavor is very prominent, and and the onion compliments it. Because it is fried, too little seasoning will be covered by the frying process, so add a bit more spice than you think you’ll need. These would also be delicious on a sandwich with lettuce and mayo, or you can have them plain with tartar or even just ketchup. For this recipe I made eight croquettes, but you could also make six larger croquettes. We had two croquettes as one serving.

What You Will Need

  • 2 Slices of bread, cut into small cubes
  • 1 Cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 Cup Diced Onion
  • 2 Cans of Tuna in water, strained
  • 1 Cup oil
  • Large Frying Pan/Dutch Oven
  • Spatula

Directions

  1. In a side bowl, mix together cubed bread, egg, onion, and tuna. Pour the bread crumbs onto a plate. Place your Large Frying Pan/Dutch Oven over medium low heat. Add your oil and heat until oil is hot but not rippling.
  2. Split the tuna mixture into 8 parts. Form each into a patty. Coat each patty with crumbs on both sides. Place the patties into the oil and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. Cook the patties in 2 batches.
  3. Place patties on a paper towel lined plate before serving to collect excess grease before serving.

Garlic Bread

Garlic bread is a delicious side for any Italian meal. I believe no garlic is too much garlic, and garlic and butter are one of the best toppings for bread. This simple recipe can be used with any bread. I used a whole grain bread and it was quite delicious. If you would rather take a few extra minutes, you could also melt the butter in a small frying pan with the garlic and cook it for 10 minutes on low until the garlic is soft enough to become a paste. If you dice the garlic up finely, it will help cook it faster. This recipe is enough for 4 side servings. I used a 6 inch loaf cut into quarters.
