I can't believe that we are talking Thanksgiving already. But here we are. You can keep the turkey and pumpkin pie. Just give me all of the sides. Hopefully this post of non traditional recipes, inspires you to try something different this year. Next week we talk turkey!
I begin with my favorite recipe of the roundup. It's made with puff pastry. Inside you will find rosemary, pecans, and a woodsy misture of mushrooms. Yum!
Potato Mushroom Pie
This is a clever recipe that can replace your mashed potatoes. Best yet, it can be made ahead of time. Love that! It's made with my favorite Yukon Gold potatoes, wild mushrooms, and Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. I am contemplating this recipe.
Not the prettiest of pictures, but the title makes my mouth water. How unique, right? The authors tip is to buy the best bread you can find. I totally agree. Your stuffing is only as good as the bread.
Roasted Balsamic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts
These are just about how we make ours, but we add maple syrup. The balsamic dressing is olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, and fig preserves mixed with fresh garlic, thyme, and chili flakes. It's all about the tangy, nutty, cheesy, sweet, and spicy flavors here!
I really love mashing potatoes! I urge you to get creative when cooking them. Plain potatoes are just sad to me. In this case, besides the fresh rosemary and sage, more butter has been brushed on top the potatoes, and then broiled. Aren't these atractive?
Herby Mushroom Croissant Stuffing
Not sure how I feel about this recipe, but it sure is unique. It takes the classic ho hum stuffing from bland and boring to flavorful and completely fab!
Half Baked Harvest
Please don't use the canned jelly roll kind when this sauce is so easy to make. I have put liquor in mine before but never vanilla. Sounds interesting.
Fall Kale Salad
How can a salad with apples, figs, toasted pecans, pancetta, and goat cheese not be delicious?
How Sweet Eats
There's a new side dish in town, and it's not messing around! The recipe author's description says it best. "It is deliciously savory, unstoppably scoopable, offers a hint of sweet, a confetti of bacon, and pulls of sharp cheddar cheese. Yum!
Add a little color to your Thanksgiving table. This recipe has it all, with the gremolata topping. It's crunchy, colorful, sweet, and savory. Not to mention it's one beautiful dish!
The next best thing to bringing Ina to your Thanksgiving table. It's quite elegant. Loving the individual servers, but the recipe can be made in one dish, also. Amazon has a good selection of the mini pans. Get the recipe at ....
The author states that the most complex part of this recipe, is getting the twist of the dough down. They sure are pretty, aren't they?
Here at Shop This, we are just big kids at heart. We love old fashioned sweet potatoes like my mom made. But these have a twist. Under that ooey gooey marshmallows is a buttery pecan crumble. Yum!
This year, I'll be topping my casserole with Wondermade's Bourbon Marshmallows
Can you have too much sage at Thanksgiving? I think not. In this case the sage has been fried. Can you just imagine the aroma?
