Over Thanksgiving, I tried a few recipes that turned out great! I thought I'd share!
- For appetizers, for 17 people at Thanksgiving, I turned to many of my mother-in-law's spreads and cracker mixes. But I also found this yummy concoction online: Texas Caviar. I'd had something similar a few years back and this turned out to be just as good! It's sweet and tangy and spicy, all at the same time!
Be forewarned, though. The recipe says to boil vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper. Yikes, this produced quite an unpleasant smell! I was really worried but, after the veggies and beans sat in this for 24 hours, it was great. I highly recommend this for all your appetizing needs! Ha!
- For breakfast on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, my mom and I decided to experiment. We found this recipe for Pumpkin Pie French Toast Bake - a take on your classic french toast casserole. Wow! It was so, so yummy! We used french bread, cubed (not sliced like the recipe), and let it all sit overnight in the fridge. Also, there's no need to put all that butter on top. We used about a tablespoon total, dispersing little pieces on top.
It was great without syrup. So, save the calories if your on a diet!
Happy eating!
