The Eve of Thanksgiving

Got ahead on the Thanksgiving menu, and decided to make my smashed potatoes tonight. I am so excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow and am so grateful to have two of my siblings to spend it with. Wish I could be with the rest of the family though.

5 lbs of red potatoes, 2 1/2 sticks of butter, 1 head of roasted garlic, cajun seasoning (tony sacheres), milk, salt, pepper, and a couple of hours later, you've got yourself a heck of a lot of delicious smashed potatoes.

Other items on the menu:

green bean casserole

honey glazed ham from costco

corn bread stuffing

Judy's rolls

and turtle brownies

I really want to make this pie crust, so we'll see. Probably won't happen...

It's supposed to be the best!

All Butter, Really Flaky Pie Dough

Makes enough dough for one double-, or two single-crust pies.

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 sticks (8 ounces, 16 tablespoons or 1 cup) unsalted butter, very cold

Love you all! And Happy Turkey Day!
