Happy Thanksgiving

Dyal_SC

No pics of the food, just of the aftermath. My wife made Thanksgiving dinner this year. My time was occupied for the majority of the day, so I ate and cleaned up. 

I at least managed a coupla obligatory aftermath pics of the loves of my life. Those are the most important pictures anyway. They both ate one lemon pepper Cornish hen each and one of my boys also managed to squeeze in 7 Hawaiian rolls and 2 cookies. As you can see in the pic, Wes’ cheeks were chipmunkin some rolls. 

Happy Thanksgiving from the Dyal’s.

Great memories captured. You’ve got a lot to be thankful for. Food sounds great; the few times I’ve made Cornish hens, I was very pleased with the results.

I’d be happy to tuck you under my arm for a nap too, good buddy.

Easy leftover idea from stuff you probably have already on hand, using leftover cranberry sauce you were probably going to throw away. Lots of protein. 

RECIPE HERE:

• Mix the first 5 dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and set aside
• In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy and then beat in the sugars until nice and light. Beat in egg, cranberry sauce and vanilla yogurt.
• Mix the dry mix to the wet mix until just incorporated.
• Bake for 20-25 mins or until tops are golden brown

Next leftover use for lunch:  

Venison Meatballs with Leftover Stuffing 

Didn’t measure anything. Just threw in a tube of ground venison with the leftover stuffing, some Parmesan cheese, 3 eggs and Salt and pepper. 375 deg for 20 min. Topped with leftover gravy over leftover mashed potatoes. Pretty good.

Definitely got to soak in the good moments. Capped the night off with some cruciferous veggies for my dinner. The rest of the family had Mac n cheese and Meatballs.
