Highlights: Thanksgiving (Part 1)

Published on November 14, 2010 By Emily. Updated on November 14, 2010

Thanksgiving Cornucopia

Thanksgiving is a mere 11 days away.  It’s probably my second favorite holiday (I plan on breaking out the Christmas decorations as soon as it’s over) and I’m really looking forward to next week.

It comes as no surprise that my Reader has been full of Thanksgiving related posts for the past month.  I know my Highlights posts can get especially lengthy at holidays, so I’ll be breaking T-Day links into 2 posts, this week and next.  To make things even more manageable (there were A LOT of posts), I limited each category to the 5 posts that I thought were most valuable.  This week covers general Thanksgiving information, posts about turkey, and ideas for Thanksgiving that don’t involve meat.  Enjoy!

General

  • How to Get Invited to Thanksgiving Dinner (Serious Eats)
  • Sabrina’s Thanksgiving Lunch Menu (Rhodey Girl Tests)
  • 10 Steps to a Saner, Thrifter, Somewhat Healthier Thanksgiving (Cheap, Healthy, Good)
  • 5 Myths About Thanksgiving Dinner (CNN’s Eatocracy)
  • How to Fix 10 Common Thanksgiving Problems (Real Simple)

Turkey

  • The Pioneer Woman’s Favorite Turkey Brine (Pioneer Woman Cooks)
  • How to Roast a Turkey without a Roasting Rack (Chow)
  • How to Make Turducken in Under 24 Hours (Serious Eats)
  • Thanksgiving Turkey Cake (Chow)
  • The 5 Biggest Thanksgiving Turkey Mistakes & How To Avoid Them (Huffington Post)

Turkey-Free Thanksgiving

  • Homemade Vegan Tofurkey that Tastes Good (Chow)
  • A Vegan Chef Dishes Up Thanksgiving (NY Times)
  • Well’s Vegetarian Dishes (NY Times) New dishes will be added daily until Thanksgiving Day
  • Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipes Beyond Tofurkey (Serious Eats)
  • Turkey-Less Feasts For A Vegetarian Thanksgiving (Epicurious)

My questions to you:

Have you ever hosted a vegetarian thanksgiving?  What did you serve? We haven’t hosted Thanksgiving yet, but I’d love to someday.  And hosting it meat-free is kind of tempting…

What’s your favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal?  It’s hard for me to pick one thing, but I’m a big stuffing fan.

Did I miss any awesome general, turkey or vegetarian links?  Post them below!

(Almost) every weekend, I choose a theme and highlight blog posts, websites and news articles from my Google Reader which I found interesting (and hope you do too!) If you want more reading, check out “What I’m Reading” on my sidebar.  And don’t forget to add Relishments to your reader or “like” Relishments on Facebook!

    This will be my first vegetarian thanksgiving. But it is just me and Hunni so it’s not traditional in any sense. We’ll probably have some good stuffing like @savvyjulie made.

    I love stuffing hence wanting to make it veggie style :-) That and pureed sweet potatoes with cinnamon. Good thing I’m not allergic :-)

    You should definitely check out SavvyEat.com for her stuffing recipe. It looks amazing!

Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
