Thanksgiving in July

Mr. Man wanted a turkey dinner. Well, if you’re going to have turkey, you need dressing (stuffing), and not that stuff from a box. And you’ll need gravy. And since you have gravy, you have to have mashed potatoes. Then of course you need a vegetable, maybe two. And some rolls. And a nice dessert just to put a cap on the whole shebang. And now that you have all that food, you need some people to help you eat it so you won’t be eating leftovers all week. And before you know it, it’s Thanksgiving in July. All that because Mr. Man wanted to cook a turkey breast. But nobody complained. I think everything I cooked I’ve already posted recipes for, but I’m going to add the old green bean casserole, which everyone demands, and for which I should mention a couple of little tips to make it as good as it can be.

Cards on the table, I'm NOT a chef. Most of the time, I don't really even like to cook. But, I ALWAYS love to eat!....and I've had a lifetime of great cooks in my family showing me what good food's supposed to taste like. People are always asking me for recipes, asking what I'm cooking, so here you go. What I cook is probably as bizarre as my kids think I am. Sometimes healthy, sometimes artery clogging. Sometimes gourmet, sometimes just a quick fix to fill an empty place. Sometimes secret Italian family recipes, sometimes quick dump and stir out of cans. That's the way I roll. Take what you please, leave the rest. It's not brain surgery.
