I wanted to show you how easy thanksgiving can be if you are hosting the dinner. There are many ways and shortcuts to get dinner ready! I did most of it the day before. I cooked the turkey the day before we went to the camp. I only have a toaster oven there, so needless to say, a turkey wouldn't fit! I also baked the loaf of bread and the pumpkin pie.
Sunday, I cooked the yams, and the rice dressing. Then it was just a matter of microwaving the turkey and slicing the bread!
Made this loaf of bread from frozen bread dough! Easy...
I found this really easy pumpkin pie recipe. It was delicious!
Pumpkin Pie
1 can pumpkin
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 beaten eggs
pinch salt
1 pie shell
cool whip topping
Mix pumpkin, milk, eggs and salt. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Let cool. Top with cool whip.
Don't be intimidated by cooking for the holidays. Do what you can, make it easy on yourself. It's all about spending time with family anyway!!!
On a more personal note....
I understand people have traditions such as Black Friday shopping. Now the stores have started earlier- Thanksgiving Day. I will not be shopping on Thanksgiving! I think all people should be able to spend that day with family. Stores have practically 364 other days of the year to make money.
We should be able to devote at least 1 day a year to be thankful for family and what we already have!
Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
