Thanksgiving

 I had Thanksgiving at the boyfriend's cousin's new house.  We were looking for a house at the same time last year.  They found one first though!  I wanted to take a few things.  


I made Buffalo chicken dip and took crackers, chips, and celery to dip in it.  This made way too much!  I would halve the recipe next time.


Buffalo Chicken Dip:

2 large cans of chicken

1/2 cup of ranch dressing

1/2 cup of wing sauce

1 container of blue cheese crumbles (save some for topping)

1 8 ounce block of softened cream cheese

1 8 ounce package of shredded cheddar cheese (save some for topping)


Mix all ingredients together and then top with reserved blue and cheddar cheese.

I put the mixture into a throw away brownie pan with a lid so I wouldn't have to worry about dirty tupperware.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.




Next I made homemade cranberry sauce because my boyfriend said he had never had it before.


Habanero Cranberry Sauce:
1 8 ounce package of whole cranberries
1 cup white sugar
1 cup water (a little less because I added the OJ and then filled the cup with water)
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 habanero chile seeded and diced


First put the OJ and water on the stove with the white sugar.  Cook on medium heat stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.   Then add everything else.  The cranberries will pop on the stove.  After 10 minutes the sauce is done.  I blended mine a bit with an immersion blender, but you can leave it chunky.




Lastly I made a green bean casserole.  I've never made one before.  I wish I hadn't made one.  There ended up being three on the table :( and boyfriend said he didn't like mine.  


Green Bean Casserole:

I used 1 pound of french blanched green beans that I trimmed.  I now know you are supposed to only use canned green beans.

1 can of cream of mushroom soup.  I got fancy and used cream of mushroom soup that was garlic.  Again I should have stuck with the regular cream of mushroom soup.

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1/2 cup milk

French's fried onions.  6-9 ounces.  Reserve some onions for topping!

dash of pepper


Stir everything together and put in a sprayed casserole dish.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. 

Top with the reserved onions and pop back in the oven for an addition 5 minutes.

Kelsey's Pub and Restaurant Thanksgiving

Kelsey's was one of the few places selling a Thanksgiving for 2 and it was only $75.  It came with turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing with sausage, green bean casserole gravy, cranberry sauce, and rolls with a honey butter.  I ordered an additional apple pie too.  It was a perfect amount and I managed to get everything reheated ready to eat in 1 hour.
