Thanksgiving Recipe Ideas
Saturday, November 18, 2017
These Thanksgiving Recipe Ideas are recipes we make every year for our Thanksgiving Day dinner table.
This roundup of recipes has just about everything you need to have a beautiful Thanksgiving Day meal before and after the Holiday.
Each family had been working Retail for years.
This was our first Thanksgiving Day altogether and no one had to work.
We all got to spend the day off together and were truly blessed with a delicious menu.
Each one of us contributes their favorite recipe we make on this Thanksgiving Day, as a tradition.
During the past years, I worked for 31 years in Retail and almost every Thanksgiving Day the store was open.
My kids would make me a meal that would consist of Turkey Covered Sandwiches, and I love them.
Those suggestions and recipes are all below for those working, dinner for two and what to do with leftovers.
Everything from Fried Turkey, Herb Mashed Potatoes, Mom's homemade Amaretto cranberry sauce, gravy and many desserts to choose from.
Our favorite pie is pumpkin and apple, there are even some cookies we make, appetizers and much much more.
If you're too busy right now to get through them all, go ahead and save this roundup to Pinterest.
This is pretty much a one-stop Thanksgiving shop of recipes.
Have a delicious and blessed Holiday Season. Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers, hope you all have a delicious day with family and friends.

This is one of the easiest mock style lasagna made casserole recipes.
During a busy work schedule, this can be made ahead of time, frozen and popped in the oven when ever you have a quick lasagna craving, this one will do in a pinch.

Slow Cooker Potato and Bacon Soup
Wednesday, November 1, 2017
What's more comforting than a bowl of potato and bacon soup on a chilly day?
This is so easily made in the slow cooker.
The best part is not only is it easy, but it's also done in around 2 to 3 hours.
While you go out shopping or at work, turn this big pot of soup on and it's waiting for you after a long day.
It really is the best potato soup recipe, ever.
I came up with it after enjoying baked potato soup at one of our favorite restaurants but added way more bacon and shredded cheese on top.
I have always been a big loaded baked potato person and this soup reminds me of just that!
Kick back and stroll through this deliciously easy recipe that is a hearty bowl of rich thick creamy bacon and potato goodness.
Just scroll down to the recipe card to print this off.
This is a very rich soup with so much cheesy deliciousness inside this slow cooker.
I was amazed at how filling it is but we often use this as a side dish with chicken or fish.
It is that thick to be just like a cheesy scallop potato side dish.
There is no rule on how much cooked bacon to add, we love it.
The rich smokey flavor of applewood bacon is our favorite to use, you can also substitute ham if you have leftover spiral ham.
I have a smoker so we sometimes when we have leftover ham steaks, I use that or even left ham for the holiday, I have also used leftover smoked pork.
Awe yes, this is the secret of it cooking so fast.
I microwave the potatoes first, or if you want to boil them that's fine too.
Just until they are slightly cooked but still firm so they cut easy.
Cool the potato first under cold water then slices and make them into chunks.
Even if you overcook the potatoes, it will still taste amazing!
If you like the potatoes firmer then don't precook them!
