Cranberry Sparkler 5 Ways and Mulled Wine with Japanese Citrus are perfect for toasting!
Well, today is my due date. I’m sitting here wondering if this little baby will arrive on time or fashionably late. Either way is just fine with me…but I wish he would share the schedule with the rest of us. Anyway, I wasn’t sure I would have time for an extra blog post this week, but since I seem to be wide open this morning, I wanted to share a few recipes from the site that would be perfect for your Thanksgiving table this year.
Kabocha Casserole, Kurigohan, and Savory Vegetable Galette add variety to classic sides.
We celebrated Thanksgiving last weekend with our Tokyo family. My mom is visiting from Minnesota and was able to join us, which was really wonderful. It’s been nice having a member of the family around for events like this to see how we spend our time over here in Tokyo. I took a back seat to the preparations this year and made only one dish: kabocha casserole. My mom made apple pie, which was delicious. We also had macaroni and cheese, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, turkey- the works. It was a truly decadent spread that left us all feeling very full at the end of the evening!
Chestnut & Sweet Potato Soup and Pommes Japanna add elegance to the table.
No matter where you are celebrating Thanksgiving this year, I hope you are surrounded by people who make you truly happy. Enjoy the time (and food) you get to share together.
Rustic Pear Tart and Kabocha Cookies use the same crust recipe!
One of my favorite traditions at Thanksgiving is having everyone share what they are thankful for. It sounds cheesy, but it really helps to put the holiday into perspective. This year, I’m thankful that I’ve had a healthy, uneventful pregnancy. My friend Tim says something to the effect of, “Pregnancy is a time when it is completely acceptable to be average.” I think I’ve accomplished that.
What are you thankful for this year?
