Mmmmmmm.... And I was thinking of maybe a nice BBQ Butter Grilled Shrimp appetizer of some sort. But we'll see.
So as you can see, my plate is full today. And will definitely be full tomorrow.
I love, l ove, love Thanksgiving. It's one of my favorite holidays. I have so much to be thankful for, after all.
Oh! And as per Rachel's request, here is the recipe for the Cheesy Mushroom Bake. (Thanks Aunt Donna!!)
1# mushrooms (sliced)
1C. shredded cheddar cheese
1 6-8oz can sliced black olives
1 1/2 Tbs. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. Accent**
1/8 tsp pepper
1/3 C. half & half
1 1/2 Tbs. Butter (melted)
1 C. breadcrumbs
In a casserole dish layer mushrooms, olives, and cheese two or three times. Blend flour, salt, pepper and half & half and pour over the top. Add the breadcrumbs to the melted butter and sprinkle over the top. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Now, I am not going to use the Accent - MSG doesn't agree with me, but otherwise I remember this stuff to be simply delicious. I had to call my Aunt Donna the other night to get the recipe since I have never made it myself.
Knowing how I stick to recipes (not) I'll let you know if any other changes I make are worthwhile. Heh.
Okay, I'm off. For those traveling today - I bid you safe roads and/or skies.
For those tending the home fires - may you have a warm and blessed holiday with good food, family and friends.
And may we keep our sense of humor intact...
(Thanks Teresa!)
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.
