Chef Extraordinaire
Making a menu and shopping list for Thanksgiving. Followed by a work plan.
Once again the process is complicated by conflicting likes and dislikes. Everyone likes butternut squash but cannot agree on a green veg they will all eat. Two out of three like asparagus. This is my side of the family. Now I have to tackle SO's side.
Everyone in my family loves carrots. So one year I made creamed carrots for the holiday meal. Surprisingly, everyone loved them. Aside from a boiled dinner, it is the most asked for veggie even today. One year my daughter asked me for the recipe. She couldn't believe how simple it was.
Trying to please two sides of a family if very difficult. Don't forget to consider potatoes as a veggie. And usually petite peas are a favorite with everyone. Even creamed peas. Saves the eater from chasing them around the plate. The kids like to mix them with their mashed potatoes.
