An Irish Thanksgiving Feast

11/22/2022

Comments

I wait an entire year to have my son's amazing turkey (maybe this year he will share his secret brine recipe with us!) and to cook some of my favorite vintage and Irish recipes!

I love Thanksgiving ~ the meal is always amazing, but it's the time we get to spend with family that is priceless! The games, the conversations, the memories are all what we are so very grateful for ~ this and every year.

Here are some helpful tips ~ 1) begin purchasing your ingredients in October. If you wait too long, you might have to adjust your menu. 2) Make your desserts on Monday & Tuesday of Thanksgiving week. 3) Make your sides on Tuesday & Wednesday of Thanksgiving week. 4) Make your turkey (or meats) on Thursday morning. 5) Spend all of your time with the kids... all too soon, they will be off with their own families.

Spreading out the work will allow more time in the kitchen with kids, and more time with family on Thursday. Plus, more time to rest rather than exhausting yourself on Thursday. *I am guilty of being the "momzilla" trying to make everything perfect. Fingers crossed that I will be more relaxed this year.

I hope you enjoy these recipes ~

Easy Cherry Cobbler

One of the desserts my daughter loves to make is cherry cobbler! And, who doesn't love cobbler ~ especially with vanilla bean ice cream!!!

This recipe is great for beginner chefs, busy week nights, and anyone who knows that a great dessert doesn't require hours and hours in the kitchen.

Enjoy!

Apple Pie may be the most American dessert... but what's more Southern than baking an apple pie in a cast iron skillet!

This recipe is easy & delicious ~ enjoy!

*The images reflect Gramma's Fried Chicken with cream gravy, mashed potatoes, firecracker green beans, sauteed peas and carrots, buttermilk biscuits, and ~ of course ~ Skillet Apple Pie.

Texas Chocolate Cake

Who doesn't love chocolate cake!? I made this cake for my son's 1st birthday, almost 27 years ago! We make this cake several times a year ~ definitely a family favorite!

We make this one with the icing and add pecan pieces, without the icing but sprinkling powdered sugar, or plain ~ which is perfect with coffee for breakfast (or any time of day!).

If you make this one, tell us how much you loved it! And, share your favorite cake recipes with us!

Damn Good Desserts

11/24/2021

My gramma is always the first person to say she doesn't have a sweet tooth, doesn't care too much for desserts... then, when she thinks no one is looking, she will be in the kitchen sneaking bites of anything and everything that might have a hint of sugar!

Here are some of our favorites! We hope you enjoy them too ~


Lime Jello Salad

Picture
This is one of our favorite desserts. So much so, that there are never left overs!

*Note: my gramma's recipe card calls for only 1/2 cup of pecans... that is not nearly enough!

Drain the crushed pineapple well. Also, instead of water, you can use the pineapple juice (you may need to add a bit of water to arrive at the 1 1/2 cups.

Pecan Tart

Picture
This is an amazing dessert that definitely steals the show on the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner tables! Buttery crust, vanilla pecan, and Southern Comfort tart, topped with vanilla bean ice cream ~ Damn Good!

Yes, my gramma sneaks mouthfuls every chance she gets!

Enjoy ~

Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving dinner isn't ready until this showstopper arrives! Pumpkin pie is a holiday staple and our table is nothing but traditional ~ with a Texas twang.

We invite Georgia to the table by using the Southern Baked Pie Co. crust mix. Simple and delicious!

Enjoy ~

This has always been a family favorite. Partly because it has been with us for so long, and because it is so amazingly delicious!
