For our Thanksgiving’s main star of the feast, I decided to use a dry-rub to season the turkey with. I went through my dried herbs basked and concocted my own cajun seasoning just like when I made the cajun fried chicken and cajun beef fajitas and tacos...

I wasn’t really sure if I was going to make Zucchini & Yellow Squash Au Gratin as one of the side dishes in our Thanksgiving feast yesterday. I thought it about weeks before but wasn’t firm about it and just told myself to decide on the day itself, depending on the time and my mood. Well, I decided to make it and good thing I did...

Broccoli W/ Crispy Bacon & Toasted Garlic Chips

Posted in  Headline, Holiday Menus, Side Items, Vegetable Creations 2 comments


One of the vegetable side dishes I made for our Thanksgiving Day dinner was this broccoli w/ crispy bacon and toasted chips. It’s not that complicated to make.

INGREDIENTS:
3-4 heads of broccoli (separate the florets, peel the stalks and slice diagonal...

Let me show you what my family devoured last night for our Thanksgiving Day feast. Of course, we didn’t eat all of them, just FYI. We’ve got leftovers to last us for a few days.

MENU: Herb With Saffron Roast Turkey, Cornbread Casserole, Broccoli with crispy bacon an...
