This year’s Thanksgiving Place Settings

I received a few requests to post the menu and recipes I’m using for our holiday gifts to teachers this year. I’m excited that a few requests are rolling in, and I can’t wait to deliver them in my NEW, customized cake boxes! Greg knows how to give Christmas presents.

The teachers are able to choose from the following meals:

Shrimp and Sausage Jambalaya and Sweet Cornbread

Chicken Pot Pie

Tomato and Sage Ham and Beans with Sweet Cornbread (vegetarian version also offered)

Tuscan Mac & Cheese with a Mandarin Orange Salad

Ham and Corn Chowder with Sweet Cornbread

Smoky Butternut Squash Soup with Shrimp, Red Pepper, and Corn Salad Sandwiches

Ratatouille

New Year’s Brunch Table

I wish for everyone a delicious start to the New Year, full of wonderful meals shared with friends and family. My dining room isn’t even half-way done, but I’ve already hosted 2 formal dinners within it. Fancy furniture is not required. My white napkins are showing their age, so I rolled them into roses to hide the stains! Fancy food isn’t obligatory either. Just real food, made with love;  that’s enough for anyone.

Well…love AND supplies from an old Halloween costume you can repurpose into centerpiece. Even the candles were repurposed from the pulpit at our wedding. God forbid I ever throw away a craft supply. I might want to SERVE IT FOR DINNER someday….ai ye ye. Godspeed and good food, my friends!
