Who’s ready for a food coma?!

Jump to Recipe

That’s where normally if this were a text I’d find the girl with both hands in the air because I am so excited about all the food. So what are you in charge of on Thursday? I’m in charge of a glazed ham, deviled eggs, and sweet potato biscuits. I also did a little trial run for some new dishes this year: a sausage, apple, cranberry dressing and mini pecan pies.

So most people will have mashed potatoes or a sweet potato side right? But I think winter squash sometimes gets forgotten about on this holiday. Last year I was on a big roasted butternut squash kick, so I always made sure I’d have some for leftovers.

I randomly decided to mash it one day when my bestie gave me the idea. But knew it needed something else. So where as most “mashed” dishes call for lots of butter I thought brown butter would add a little more pizzazz. And what is brown butter without some sage? Oh and you know some goat cheese. Because 90% of my dishes have cheese in them.

So add this to your list for Thursday you won’t regret it. Oh and don’t forget to put on your best stretchy pants – at least I won’t!
