Good Morning, Ladies! Happy Thanksgiving - I like Jennifer's blessing - that is my wish for you, too.

I have a pretty good start on the day. While dh cleaned the downstairs, I prepped and roasted the turkey, deboned it and boiled the bones, prepared the dressing, cranberry waldorf salad, baked the sweet potatos, made pumpkin pudding, and strained my hoard of bacon grease for Pope's ginger cookies. Oh, and made tacos for dinner.

Today
Prepare mashed potatos (1/2 cauliflower)
set the table
make Pope cookies
warm dinner
serve dinner (remember portion control!)
enjoy the day.

Happy day, all!

Deb, if you see this, will you share your recipe from yesterday for empanaditas?

Above all, I am THANKFUL for all of my DIS Buddies!!! You all are the greatest!!

 

[ddavis860]

Chile and Cheese Empanaditas

1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese (4 oz)
1/3 cup Old El Paso® chopped green chiles (from 4.5-oz can)
1 box Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
1 cup Old El Paso® Thick ‘n Chunky salsa
1 beaten egg

Heat oven to 400°F. In small bowl, mix cheese and chiles.
With 3 1/4-inch round cutter, cut each pie crust into 8 rounds. Spoon cheese mixture evenly onto half of each dough round. Brush edge of crust rounds with beaten egg. Fold crust rounds in half; press edges with fork to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush tops with egg. Cut small slit in top of each.
Bake 12 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm empanaditas with salsa.
Makes 16 appetizers

Some of the insides came on the outsides. Those ones weren't so great. But they were a hit, and not too hard to make. I used a big glass to cut circles from the dough. Got 8 per crust. I doubled the recipe and used 1c cheddar and 1c pepper jack cheeses.

Things I didn't do that I should have:

Beaten egg...didn't do the edge...should have
Cut the slit...didn't do it...should have...

Maybe the insides would have stayed inside better

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I am in charge of green bean casserole - will start that after awhile. Am just surfing the internet and doing nothing.

To anyone brave enough to venture out on Black Friday - be safe and may you find the bargains you are hunting for!

Stephanie! Candlelight Processional! how exciting! Have a great time!!

Going to have to try that recipe! Thanks for sharing!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I think my sister, BIL, and cousins are going to be at the candlelight processional tomorrow, Stephanie!

Awesome!!!! If you speak to them beforehand, tell them that the best chorus will be at the 5:00 p.m. Candlelight Processional!

 

[Lisa]

Yes, Jennifer, you worded the Thanksgiving blessing perfectly!

Slept in until 7:00 am
Feed cats
packed up food and the van for the Cape
waved to Missy Holly as I went by her exit. Holly, you must be exhausted tonight.
Unpacked van and get settled into the house
High excitement this afternoon, a squirrel came down the chimney into the fire and popped open the screen. MomE's dawg chased it into the kitchen up the window screens. DH grabbed a blanket, threw it over the critter as I opened the kitchen door, and he tossed blanket and squirrel out to the yard. Ick, ick, ICK. Said blanket is in the wash as we speak, and the glass fireplace screen is shut over the wire screening. Did I say ICK yet? Needless to say, DH will be at Home Depot tomorrow at their 6:00 am opening to buy screening for the top of the chimney. Why can't my life be dull and boring.
Dinner - beef stew, our thanksgiving dinner is tomorrow
make up the beds
bake up the pumpkin pie

 

[joyah]

Lisa sounds like a fun arrival at the cape.

Brooke hope mom's feeling a bit better today, sometimes putting it off longer is hard but better. found that out with dad last year.

Holly hope you're taking a turkey induced nap.

[New England Eeyore]

Happy Thanksgiving all!! Hope you all had a wonderful day.

Great day here. While DH and DsD were still sleeping, I did some online shopping and knocked off about half my Christmas list! Hope to get the rest done with some "Cyber Monday" deals!

I brushed off my rusty cooking skills and put together a pretty nice spread. Dad said it was the best Thanksgiving meal we've had! We put up the tree and played a few games, then watched the last Harry Potter DVD in preparation for going to see the latest one within the next week. Wonderful day shared with the people I love most - lots to be thankful for.

 

[wdwmickey]
