I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Do you have a lot of leftover turkey?

I did a quick scroll through my “turkey tag” and found some great turkey ideas for you.

Pilgrims, Persecution, the Bible, and Thanksgiving

If you don’t know the actual history behind the pilgrims and Thanksgiving, I found this chart here. I copied it verbatim and added nothing to it, nor took anything away from it. It is WONDERFUL and is full of other links.

Winter Squash Stuffed with Wild Rice, Toasted Pecans & Dried Cherries

Posted by Hallee on Oct 28, 2011 in American Quisine, Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Recipes, sides

I love finding a recipe that will be my new go-to recipe for entertaining. We had company for dinner, and since we’re observing a Daniel Fast, this was our main course using acorn squash. The next evening, we served a soup and had this as a side using pumpkins. The rice is amazing alone, but pared with the winter squash, it is remarkable. This would be beautiful gracing any holiday table.

Thankful

Posted by Hallee on Nov 25, 2010 in Christian Faith, Family, Hallee's Galley, Housekeeping, Life, Love, Marriage, Parenting

Last year at this time, Gregg and I were saying that it would be the last Thanksgiving we would be apart. And here we are this year, apart, determined that this will be the last one. God has been gracious and an amazing provider in this time of economic hardship on our country, and we are thankful for the job he has, for the income that he has, and for the continued contracts that come his way while there is nothing much out there otherwise. So while a part of me wants to feel down in the dumps for missing him, I try very hard to stay thankful. Ephesians 5:20 says: Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Traditional Turkey Gravy

Posted by Hallee on Nov 22, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Recipes, sauces & spreads

When my mom makes turkey gravy, she always makes giblet gravy (recipe to follow). It took me many years to learn how to make any other kind of gravy. Now that I make this recipe, it would be hard for me to say whether I prefer giblet gravy over this traditional gravy or not! It is really flavorful and the perfect compliment to the rest of your Thanksgiving feast.
