Cooking for Two
I like sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving, but also other times of the year. They are a nice switch from a Russet potato. This recipe gives you a different way to serve these awesome vegetables. Toasting them brings out their nutty flavor. The spices and pecans make for a flavorful and comforting dish.
I have been making this dressing for my family for several years. It is a simple recipe and is quick to make. The water chestnuts give it a nice crunch. This dressing is moist and has a crisp topping. Bethany says it’s delicious, and I definitely agree.
Your home will be filled with such a delicious and comforting smell when you make this pie. We went crustless to lower calories, and because neither of us is a fan of pie crust or graham cracker crust. This will remind you of Libby’s original pumpkin pie. It is the perfect pumpkin pie with all the lovely spices.
I haven’t made a Cornish hen in forever. But they are the perfect size for a meal for two. The glaze is a wonderful complement to the meat. It seals in the juices and makes a great crispy treat on the skin.
This fall sangria is a balanced, refreshing cocktail. It is easy to make, and can be refrigerated up to 24 hours ahead. We chose it for our Thanksgiving meal because the flavors went so well with our meal. It is not too sweet and is a smooth drink.
