Weekly meal plan 11.22.10 and Thanksgiving menu
It’s Thanksgiving week! I am very excited to get things rolling towards the big day. I have my menu planned and a timeline set up to make sure everything gets done, I think I’m ready. Another thing that I am very excited about is the beginning of the holidays. The official start date to my Christmas is as soon as the Thanksgiving meal is cleaned up and put away. Cue the music and get the tree out of the attic, the Holidays are here! I’m getting out my Trans-siberian Orchestra, Harry Connick Jr. and Diana Krall Christmas albums now and making sure I have all of the decorations I’m going to need.
Here is this weeks meal plan up to Thursday.
Tonight: Beef tacos with refried beans plus making the cornbread for Thursday
Tuesday: Chicken and pasta in a veal cream sauce with herbes de provence. Also, make the brine for the turkey, make the compound butter to go on the turkey and make two pumpkin pies
Wednesday: Teriyaki white rice with veggies. Then put turkeys in the brine, cut the potatoes, clean house and set up tables and chairs. That’s going to be a busy night.
Last but not least here is the Thanksgiving menu.
- roasted turkey with an herb compound butter
- deep fried creole turkey
- honey glazed ham
- cornbread dressing
- mashed potatoes and gravy
- macaroni and cheese
- corn
- home made rolls
- cranberry sauce
- sweet sweet potatoes
- deviled eggs
- pumpkin pie
- pecan pie
