This #recipe from the #goodvibes cookbook (which I bought from the @surfgirlmag online boutique) is not the kind of recipe I’d normally try. .
First of all, #puffpastry is involved and that always sounds like it’s far from foolproof. Second, it sounded savory and delicious, but also much richer and more decadent than the #leancleangreen meals I strive for normally. .
However, it sounded like such tasty #comfortfood—perfect for the #autumn #chill—that I had to give it a go. .
They not only looked just like the photo (which I didn’t necessarily expect) but they were so good I impressed myself! The uncomplicated recipe did have a multitude of steps, but was #wortheveryminute—and #wortheverycalorie. .

Happy thanksgiving ! 🦃
I don’t usually share many food photos, but it seems more apt on a day when the sharing of a meal is so meaningful.
.
I may have overdone it a little—if there is such a thing on #thanksgiving. 🦃

Started off the menu with a nod to the setting—a cheese ball and country ham biscuits so representative of the south.
Then a serving of #cauliflower #rosemary soup (a #toneitup recipe) followed by the #roastturkey, stuffed with my mother’s ricotta cheese-based stuffing with gravy, and sides of herb-Parmesan #sweetpotato fries, mom-prepared #mashedpotatoes (and mom-made cranberry sauce too!), #haricotsverts sautéed with pearl onions and portobello mushrooms, corn pudding made by my lovely niece, #colcannon (made with #mashedcauliflower instead of potatoes), and an escarole salad. .
And pie. There was LOTS of pie. I made #coconutcustardpie and there was #derbypie, #pumpkinpie, and #pecanpie.
.
I’m #grateful for the these and all the abundant gifts in life.
