You’re welcome. :) Food threads are a wonderful distraction from politics.
I’m bringing the full Thanksgiving dinner to my elderly parents’ house this year, so I’ve been doing a lot of early cooking and freezing. I made a double batch of stuffing today and homemade fresh cranberry/orange relish. Last week I put together some parmesan and roasted garlic mashed potatoes, bourbon corn pudding and a vegetable medley dish.
I’m making the turkey at their house along with the gravy, relish trays and ciabatta rolls. Sara Lee’s making the pie. :)
The mashed rutabagas can wait until next week. I can’t stand the smell of the things but my mother loves them. The things we do for love. LOL
Here’s one of my favorite veggie dishes:
VEGETABLE MEDLEY
3/4 C. sliced onion
1 1/2 C. celery, sliced diagonally
2 C. carrots sliced into thin 2” long sticks
2 cans of green beans (one drained, one with liquid)
2 cans diced tomatoes, undrained
3/4 C. green pepper, cut into sticks
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
4 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. Minute tapioca
Mix all ingredients together and place in a tightly covered casserole dish.
Bake at 350 for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until carrots are tender.
Freezes well.
WOW! That's a lot of work. There's a special place in heaven for you.
Veggie recipes sounds great! Thank you.
