Beef Vegetable Soup
This soup is not difficult, but time consuming to make it from fresh vegetables and using soup bones or Oxtail. It is so worth the effort and time. It warms your soul and your tummy. This recipe can be scaled down to make much less. Divide it in half or by fourths for an even smaller amount. I fed my neighbors and family with the large pot which was an 8 quart stockpot. I prep all my vegetables the day before and put them in storage bags in the refrigerator. Be sure to cover your potatoes with water to prevent them from browning. If your family doesn’t like cabbage, they will in this soup. It adds a lot of flavor and cooks down until almost invisible. (What I did when my children were younger and said they didn’t like cabbage) They loved my soup.
SPIRAL OMELET
While visually appealing to look at, it was equally tasty. Filled with Sausage Cheese peppers and onions and all those spices. Need I say more. So was it worth it? Well, I’ll let you decide. If you want to impress a group of people with …
Praline-Topped Apple Bread
Apples, toasted pecans and a praline glaze make this bread perfect for a holiday celebration—or anytime. I like it better than our go-to coffee cake.
Corn Maque Choux
Just a fantastic creation of Andouille Sausage, corn, bell peppers and tomato. Seasoned well with those Cajun spices and then cooked in a heavy cream. I mean come on. One of my all time favorites.

SAVORY CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH RED WINE & THYME
Tangy and Sweet in that order is what I’m looking for in a cranberry sauce and this recipe provides just that. It is the perfect compliment to any turkey, chicken, or even pork on a fork. And as satisfying as this dish was to eat, it was equally satisfying to make. Call me crazy, but hearing those cranberries pop, and watching them meld into a thick sauce, was quite rewarding to me somehow. Please give this a try, I know you are going to love it.
ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH PINEAPPLES AND PECANS
Sweet potatoes and pineapples are an unlikely pair, but in this dish they complement each other perfectly. The pecans add a sweet-nutty flavor to contrast the savory flavors that come with typical dishes at Thanksgiving dinner. It’s so good.
Bourbon Glazed Carrots
So there it is, Bourbon Glazed Carrots. Sweet delicious carrots roasted in butter and brown sugar with all of the flavor notes of bourbon. It really is a wonderful addition to your Thanksgiving Table or just about any table. I hope you give this a try.
Red Potato Salad
Pretty red potato salad with great flavor. This dish goes well with a summer barbeque or anytime! For a tangy twist, try using plain Greek yogurt instead of some or all of the sour cream. Garnish with additional sliced hard-boiled eggs, if desired.
