Thanksgiving Menu 2023

Image
Thanksgiving is a time to gather with friends and family to celebrate all that we are thankful for. There are many different kinds of foods that can be served at a typical Thanksgiving meal. A traditional Thanksgiving menu typically consists of a roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, green beans, dinner rolls, and a variety of pies for dessert. In addition to this, many people like to serve a variety of side dishes including sweet potatoes, cornbread, yams, salads, macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs, and more. Turkey is usually the main event of the meal but other dishes like ham or roast beef are also popular. No matter what you decide to serve, your Thanksgiving menu will be sure to satisfy everyone around the table. Here's what's on my Thanksgiving table this year: You can find the recipes below...

EVERYPLATE review

Image
  I've ordered from Everyplate before and it's my favorite out of all the other meal subscriptions. Most of the meals take 30 - 35 minutes to prepare. Since I had received an email with a great deal to come back, I just had to order from them once again. It's pretty easy to order from them and you do have choices on how many you want to serve such as 2-4 people and meals per week from 3-5 days. You can choose your meal preferences: Meat and veggie, Veggie, Family friends, and Quick and easy.   You can substitute your meals if you don't happen to like the selection they chose for you, which is a nice feature. If you continue with the weekly subscription, they do give you a chance to skip a week, just make sure you make that choice by the end date for delivery. It is an overnight delivery and they have it packed with frozen packs to keep the perishable cold. I ordered 5 days for 4 servings in my settings. The box was delivered before dinner time but it was in the 90'...

Asparagus Facts and Recipes

Image
***UPDATED 4/27/24*** Asparagus is now in season in Virginia. I happen to like asparagus, how about you? My preference is to grill it on our gas grill with some olive oil and salt/pepper. Oh so good! Here are some fun facts about asparagus.  Asparagus has been cultivated for 2,500 years and for almost 150 years in the United States. It takes three years from seed to harvest. California is among the top 3 states in asparagus production. Other states that produce bunches of asparagus include Washington and Michigan, while others produce very small quantities. Sea salt was the asparagus farmer’s original herbicide. White asparagus and green asparagus come from the same plant. Green asparagus gets its color from sunlight. When the plant breaks through the ground, the sun hits it, turning it green. For white asparagus, sunlight is prevented from touching the plant by piling dirt on top of the stalks so the asparagus matures underground. Once the tip breaks through the surface, the stalk...

St. Patrick's Day Dinner Menu 2021

Image
***UPDATED 3/4/23*** St. Patrick’s Day observes the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The holiday has evolved into a celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, drinking, and a whole lot of green.  Remember when you were in school and if you weren't wearing green you were pinched? I always tried to wear green 🤣 Do you blame me? 🍀 I don't know about you but we love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with food. I'm not sure we have any Irish in us but we can all celebrate along with those that are Irish. Ireland is well known for great meals like corned beef and cabbage and that is one dish my family and I thoroughly enjoy eating. I've made it in the crockpot and on the stovetop. However you make it, it's always delicious! This year were are having something I've never made before and that's Bangers and Mash. I think we are in for a treat because we love sausage and mashed potatoes. To top it off there's oni...
