Hope everyone’s holidays were great! Last week, we threw our second annual Thanksgiving dinner at the brothel. This years recipes were all from Food Network Magazine and Every Day with Rachael Ray – and mashed potatoes courtesy of Bonnie Dickman 
. It was tons of fun, and SUPER easy to make – the turkey only took about three-and-a-half hour, and was super moist and tasty!
I think the overall fav was the pumpkin-cheesecake cupcakes (from EDWRR). The sweet potato fries (our own concoction), stuffing (from FN) and mashed potatoes (from mom) were also a big hit! Here are some mouth watering pics from the feast:
Our 20 lb. turkey - stuffed with garlic, onion, fennel and coated in sage butter.
Mushrooms stuffed with our shitake/butternut squash stuffing.
Cranberry sauce with orange zest/juice and almonds.
Chile Rice - made with white rice, scallions, cheddar cheese and serrano peppers --- very spicy!
Hush puppies and sweet potatoe fries coated in brown sugar and spices.
Crumbly skillet cornbread, drizzled with honey and butter.
Mashed Potatoes and shitake/butternut squash --- never try cutting upa butternut squash. IMPOSSIBLE!
