Kristi, hosting us, created a wonderful meal. She had also invited a couple that lives in the park that they do so we had 8 around an outdoor table. We had turkey and ham. For sides there were mashed and sweet potatoes, dressing, asparagus, creamed spinach, rolls, gravy and homemade cranberry sauce. It was a lot of food even for 8 people and she will be busy planning uses for the leftovers now that we have all gone home.
My small addition, besides helping with cooking, was to make the bread you see here and make a cranberry salad that Jim loves. I saved this bread recipe a long time ago and this week seemed to be the perfect time to make it. You can find the recipe at Simply So Good No Knead Pumpkin Harvest Bread.
This bread has canned pumpkin, not pie filling, in it. You also put in sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and dried fruit. The recipe recommends the Golden Berry Blend from Trader Joe's. This is not a light fluffy bread, but it is so good. We set out a bread tray at dinner with this bread and the more traditional dinner rolls surrounding it. If you do not have a Trader Joe's near you this fruit blend of golden raisins, cherries, cranberries and blueberries can be found on Amazon.
In other random news about me, I made it to the 2nd skein in my knitting. That happened last night when we were watching the first Christmas movies after dinner. That accomplishment felt so good. There really is hope that I can get this done and blocked in time to travel with it.
Hope all of you readers in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend!
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
