Thanksgiving To-Go

Thanksgiving meal

Turkey & gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, stuffing, and mashed potatoes.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, love on some Thanksgiving dinner from anywhere.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  Getting your Thanksgiving dinner to-go can save you from both cooking and cleaning for the day.

Oooooo, Look At The Veggies

Sauteed Spinach

Sautéed Spinach made with spinach, turkey bacon, fresh garlic, balsamic vinegar, and salt & pepper.

All these little extras made eating spinach taste so much better than eating it plain.

Recipe for—Sautéed Spinach

Steamed Broccoli, Steamed Squash with seasonings, Steamed Brussels Sprouts with salt & pepper.

I just love my little steamer basket.  You can put it inside any sized pan and make it expand as wide as you need it.  I’ve never had one before and you know how excited I get when I get myself something new to try!

Cabbage

Cabbage made with shredded carrots, lots of butter, and salt & pepper.

This was SO good!  I attribute a lot of it to the massive amounts of buttery goodness.

Sauteed Asparagus, Peppers, & Onions

Sautéed Asparagus, Peppers, & Onions made with asparagus, sliced yellow peppers, sliced red onions, Parmesan & roasted garlic vinaigrette, and topped with Parmesan cheese.

I used canned asparagus in this rather than fresh and I used a slightly different type of vinaigrette—and it was OH SO delicious!

Sauteed Kale

Sautéed Kale made with fresh kale, chopped garlic cloves, and salt & pepper.

I just love kale made this way.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, get to know your vegetables and play around with them a little.  Buy yourself a steamer basket, too—you’ll love it!

Take-Away Life Lesson:  Vegetables taste SO much better when you can season and doctor them up just the way you like.
