Ok I got the viral My Texas House Tree It was a challenge to decorate. I have to say it is pretty without decorations. I did a side by side with last year’s tree. The jury is still out on this one. What do you think?

Vegetable beef soup is wonderful on a chilly day. I always say I’m going to make a little pot, but as you can see I think it’s impossible.

Tried something different this year and had smoked spatchcock turkey. I thought it was good but everyone prefers the fried turkey. How did you cook yours long enough turkey?

Converted Hello Dolly’s into a cookie. Didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted them so I’ll have to keep experimenting.

Another staple on my Thanksgiving menu is Classic Potato Salad.
Dice 5 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes and boil just until fork tender. Drain well, salt and pepper and set aside. Boil about 8 eggs and chop.
I put a handful of dill pickle slices in my Ninja chopper and finely chop. I do the same with a half onion. In a large bowl add your chopped eggs, pickles, and onions and give it a stir. Then add about a cup of Hellman’s Mayonnaise and a few good squirts of mustard, a sprinkle of red pepper and stir. You want this kind of soupy but not like liquidy. Taste. If you are happy with the flavor add your potatoes and fold in. I mash some with a fork but I like it a kind of chunky. Add to a nice serving dish and sprinkle with a little Tony’s and Paprika. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

How do you like your Potato Salad?

Everyone makes “Dirty Rice” or “Rice Dressing” different but this is how I make it and my family loves it. It is a staple at Thanksgiving dinner. I always use Savoie’s dressing mix and an iron skillet. I don’t know why but it just taste better.
Sauté the trinity (onions, bell pepper, celery) in a stick of butter until tender. Add Savoies’s dressing mix and some chopped green onions and cook down a bit. The only seasoning I add is a little bit of Tony’s.
In the meantime cook your rice. In my magnalite pot, I cook about 4 (rice cooker size) cups of rinsed rice, add salt and butter and about 7 (rice cooker size) cups water. Stir and boil uncovered for a few minutes then cover and cook on low for about 25 minutes. This rice turns out perfect and no sticking to the pot. I take the lid off and fluff with a fork and let some of the steam out and then start adding to my mix. I don’t add it all. I probably reserve about 2 cups of cooked rice.
Let me know if you try it. Enjoy!
