Thanksgiving with my dad and brother usually meant a classic Thanksgiving spread from Wegmans. I love my Dad, but cooking from scratch was generally a weak spot. A few hours before dinner time, we'd start heating up all the food in the oven (one year, the oven got stuck closed so the food was extra hot).
Unfortunately there isn't a Wegmans out here on the west coast so we turn to Costco every year for Thanksgiving goodies. Everything served was from Costco except for the chives and thyme.
Menu (starting from the top):
Scalloped Potatoes with cheese and bacon
- Russet potatoes thinly slices poached in half and half infused with thyme and garlic. Between the slices of potatoes are crispy bacon pieces and cheddar cheese.
Chive Mashed Potatoes infused with thyme and garlic
- Russet potatoes boiled, peeled, and then mashed with half and half infused with thyme and garlic. Toss in a handful of diced chives to make it 'healthy'
Green Bean casserole with fried onion rings
- Blanched fresh green beans and sauteed Cremini mushrooms are mixed with half and half, chicken stock and a roux then topped with fried Walla Walla onions
Roasted Turkey breast
- Roasted with chicken stock and thyme
Cranberry and Sausage cornbread stuffing
- Premade from Costco every year, you just heat it in the oven, it is sooo delicious
Red Lobster biscuits
- Packaged mix where you add in cheddar cheese and bake
Roasted Brussel Sprouts
- Sliced in half then drizzles with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and bacon bits
Turkey Gravy
- Another premade item from Costco that is utterly amazing
Total cook time was about 2 hours, total eating time was about 10 minutes.
Let me know if you're interested in the recipes of any of these items!
