Here’s my alternative menu for a Thanksgiving Dinner for two. It’s casual enough to make sense for the two of us, but still I tried to incorporate many of the traditional foods so we don’t forget it’s a holiday. We love this kind of fare, and already are looking forward to our “Turkey Dinner”.
Grilled turkey-and-Swiss sandwiches on homemade cranberry-pecan sourdough (choice of open-faced or traditional sandwich, with gravy optional).
Crispy, twice-cooked potato wedges – both gold potatoes and sweet.
Grated carrot salad. Pickled green beans. Pickled cherries.
To drink: choice of apple or blackberry shrub, alcohol optional.
For dessert: homemade pumpkin ice cream.
After dinner we’ll throw the switch on our outdoor holiday light tableau and light up the tree.
Happy holidays!
