Eli has the pics from Thanksgiving and I would say overall dinner was delish, but I personally liked our appetizers best so in an effort to provide more recipes... here they are. Eli will have to double check and make sure I didn't forget anything because she actually made it.
1 c. mayo
8 oz cream cheese -soft
2 c. shredded smoked Gouda cheese
1/4 c. grated onion
1 small jar pimento
Pulse everything in the food processor until desired consistency. Check for seasoning and chill to allow flavors to marry. Serve with celery or crackers. Or like I did spread it on bread really thick and devour.
Bacon bark -Its a good thing Eli looked up the recipe al la Sunny Anderson because we had to send the boys for several ingredients I didn't have
2 bags pecans
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 Tb maple syrup
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Black pepper -to taste
1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
pinch of salt
2 # crispy bacon
Combine everything in a bowl and coat nuts
Bake in 350 oven about 12-15 minutes until nutty and sugars caramelize
Allow to cool and blot off excess oil
Break up with hands and add 1 c. dried cranberries and 1/2 c. chocolate chips
Be surprised how much everyone will love this.
And on a side note...I think we should track our favorite recipes from this blog for the year and publish a book!!!
Oooh Love Pimento Cheese and we serve it at Queenies so might see if the Boss lady likes this recipe. See Everyone after Christmas.
