Soon after we moved to the farm, we changed to hosting an open house, buffet style Thanksgiving. We love entertaining, and is there a better holiday for cooking in bulk than turkey day? That said, I was suddenly struggling with the timing of everything, and began trying to figure out what I could make ahead of time. Gravy was one of the first things to get done before the big meal – and with this method, I had stock to use on Thanksgiving itself. I’ve made gravy this way ever since!
I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for quite a while, and I finally decided to go ahead and try it for our Thanksgiving gathering this year. It is incredibly easy to make, looks beautiful on the table, and is absolutely delicious! I got the recipe from Delish, and made no changes other than to double the size of the brie wheel and thus the amount of biscuits.
This is our go to brine for our turkey every year. It comes from a Cooking Light recipe in the mid-2000s and we love it. The measurements for the spices are just a guide – add more or less to taste. Just make sure you have a pot big enough for your turkey to brine overnight!

With a caramelized onion topping tosses in breadcrumbs, is a nice take on an old favorite!
Continue readingI stumbled on this recipe in my constant search for interesting slow cooker ideas, and although it is a cassloulet type dish, I thought the base idea might be something fun, and easily modified. I love beans, particularly in soups and stews, but unfortunately they’ve been off the table for a few years now. For those interested, this would work well with low FODMAP and most AIP diets (besides the diced tomatoes). We particularly enjoyed this one the next day!
Om nom nom!
