Thanksgiving is quite possibly my favorite holiday. I love cooking, getting dressed up, eating too much, and sleeping it off. My mother and I drove to my sister and future brother-in-law's house today to help with the cooking and other preparations.
My contributions are my soon-to-be world famous spinach & artichoke dip and blackberry bread pudding. I have written about my bread pudding before as a great use for left-over bread. This time however I bought really great whole wheat bread from a local market. I would have made from scratch only I definitely didn't have enough time. You can see the recipe
here, but I took pictures of the process.
 |
| mash up 1 banana |
 |
| break bread into small chunks |
 |
| pour milk/egg mixture into bread and mix |
 |
| mix in blackberries..YUM! |
On to the next one...SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP (w/ goat cheese)
 |
| I used to use sour cream or cream cheese, but now I use organic Greek yogurt |
 |
chop up quartered artichokes and mix with sauteed spinach
(saute in garlic and butter or olive oil) |
 |
| add in the best thing ever made! |
 |
| I want to eat this right now. |
We aren't going to bake this or the bread pudding until tomorrow so all of the flavors have plenty of time to develop.
On to dinner (pizza) and then cherry pies!!!
