The Thanksgiving gauntlet...dishes served buffet style.

The Thanksgiving gauntlet…dishes served buffet style.

So, Thanksgiving was turned out great.  Everyone seemed to really enjoy all the food.  I thought the dry brined turkey was excellent.  I would definitely recommend trying that sometime (as an aside…you can do the dry brine for roasted chicken as well).  Interestingly, two of the dishes that seemed to be really popular were the kale gratin and the simple brown butter and sage sweet potatoes.  I’m going to post recipes for those in a separate post but both are really easy and as a bonus, both can be made ahead and simply reheated at the very end just prior to serving.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!  Happy Thanksgiving…and go Cowboys!

I live in Berkeley Heights, NJ and have lived here for about a year with my wife Tara. Prior to that we lived in Hoboken, NJ. I studied cooking professionally at the International Culinary Center in SOHO, focusing on classic French cuisine. Growing up, I've lived all over the country from St. Louis to Topeka, KS to Washington D.C. to Texas (Dallas and Austin). I love music and listen to a wide variety and may even mention it within the blog. I also am a huge sports fan, following The St. Louis Cardinals baseball team as well as Dallas Cowboys football (I don't want to hear about your hatred of the Cowboys...I've heard it all). Hope you enjoy the site!
