| THANKFUL | Today, we head back to A T L after a lovely week in the Dominican Republic with family + friends. It was not a traditional Thanksgiving for us, but it was wonderful. We spent our days exploring + eating + drinking + golfing + boating + swimming + relaxing. And, I will sorely miss this view of the Minitas Beach Club bar + the Caribbean Sea beyond. As hard as it is to leave this tropical paradise, I will return home well-rested + happy + inspired + beyond grateful. I hope you enjoyed a restful holiday with family + friends too. ✨ Let the Holiday Season commence! ✨

🍁 THANKSGIVING TABLE 🍁 As you finish your last minute preparations for tomorrow, don’t underestimate the W O W factor of a beautifully set table. Even if the turkey is dry + the potatoes are lumpy + the dessert burns just a bit, your table will be perfect. This is a throwback to my favorite Thanksgiving tablescape from 2017. It was simple, yet elegant with muted colors + little white pumpkins + greenery + antique hydrangeas + homemade place settings + pretty little votives. 💜💚

🥧 DESSERT 🥧 Thanksgiving Tip #1 - Save room for this rich + creamy Apple Pie Basque Cheesecake + Cinnamon Whipped Cream. This is a life changing “apple pie”, trust me on this one. This rustic dessert is topped with marinated apples + baked in puff pastry dough + served with a dollop of homemade cinnamon whipped cream. Need I say more? Puff pastry dough + cream cheese + caster sugar + eggs + half & half + vanilla bean paste + flour + apples + orange juice + cinnamon + cloves + nutmeg + heavy whipping cream + powdered sugar = the 🍎🍏 pie dreams are made of. Recipe is linked in bio + saved in IG Highlights!

🦃 TURKEY 🦃 Let the countdown to Thanksgiving Day begin! My Slow-Roasted Turkey is sure to be the 🌟 of our family feast this year. I’m changing things up a bit this holiday - with a departure from my tried + true turkey recipe - and serving this slow-roasted beautiful bird instead. This recipe takes patience + planning, but the result is a turkey with juicy, moist meat + brown, crispy skin. It’s absolutely D E L I S H ! The full recipe is linked in my bio + saved in IG Highlights, but here’s the scoop:
.
🍁 Stuff your turkey with fresh herbs + whole peppercorns then put it in the refrigerator (uncovered) for 24 - 48 hours to dry out the skin. This is my secret to a crispy bird!
🍂 Smear your bird with cultured butter | Season it with salt + pepper | Add lemons + white wine. I smeared my turkey with Smoked Sea Salt Butter by @bannerbutteratl + seasoned it with Magic Unicorn Salt by @beautifulbrinysea. These are two of my local favorites!
🦃 Roast your turkey upside down, at a low temperature, for 8 - 10 hours. Roasting it upside down (aka breast side down) allows those amazing juices from the dark meat to seep down into the breast meat, keeping it moist + delicious!
🍽 And finally, flip your turkey over so it’s breast side up + increase the oven temp + roast it for the last 45 minutes to make sure it’s super crispy on both sides. Dinner is served!

🍁 SIDES 🍁 Move over mashed potatoes, I’ve got something dreamier…Lemon + Herb Roasted Potatoes! For this recipe I use creamer potatoes which are very young + small + T E N D E R potatoes harvested before they mature. I highly recommend you use them for this 🦃 side dish. These potatoes are steamed + roasted, at high heat, with a mixture of stock + olive oil + lemon juice + Herbs de Provence. The result? The most crispy on the outside + creamy on the inside flavorful potatoes you ever did taste! I’ll also be serving my Italian Brussels Sprout Salad as a side for our Thanksgiving Feast!

🦃 APPETIZER 🦃 I just might be slightly obsessed with this rich + creamy + minimally sweet + perfectly savory Whipped Goat Cheese. I created this recipe for a party I hosted a few weeks ago, but it’s going to make a repeat appearance on my Thanksgiving table because it is darn good + super simple to make + can be prepared ahead of time. You’re gonna love it + your guests will too. Goat cheese log + local honey + half & half + ground pepper + sea salt + green apple + red apple + variety of crackers = 🐐🧀🍁 Recipe is linked in bio.

I’ve created a T H A N K S G I V I N G highlight in my IG Stories for easy access to my 🦃 menu!

| STOCK | Savory + hearty stock is the building block for any festive meal. So, it’s time to set aside some time to make a big batch for your Thanksgiving feast! If you’re really ambitious, you can make several large batches + put that deliciousness in your freezer for safekeeping. It will last throughout the holiday season! 🥘 Chicken pieces with skin/bones + lemon + fresh bay leaves + fresh oregano + fresh thyme + whole black peppercorns + sea salt + celery + carrots + onion + garlic + Parmesan rinds = start STOCKing your freezer today!

| BOUQUET GARNI | I’m here to tell you a secret about a little French bundle of joyous herbs + spices. ’Tis the Season for the Bouquet Garni to shine! 🌱 The bouquet garni, or “garnished bouquet”, is a small bundle of herbs + spices, usually tied together with kitchen twine, and added to soups + stews + casseroles + stock + sauces + any other recipes that stew or simmer.
🌿
I often buy bouquet garni cotton bags (pictured here) because they are perfect for holding all of the fresh herbs + spices + peppercorns + other favorite items I use to season my recipes. The bouquet is cooked with your other ingredients, to add depth + flavor, but should be removed prior to serving. And, the sky is the limit with this genus little bundle as you can customize it with all of your favorite herb + spice flavor combinations to season any dish.
🌿
The bouquet garni pictured here is one of my staples for soup season + the holidays: fresh bay leaves + Italian parsley + thyme + black whole peppercorns + Parmesan rind. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times…S A V E those Parmesan rinds! Collect them throughout the year + store them in your freezer in a sealed bag or container. Trust me on this one.
🌿
The Bouquet Garni, my gift to you this holiday season! What will you include in your garnished bouquet?

| MOCHA | Holy Moly! Old Man Winter certainly knows how to make an entrance. ❄️🌬 If you need me, I’ll be sipping my favorite cold weather beverage - a homemade mocha - and trying not to freeze to death. I DO NOT like cold weather!
☕️
My secret to a perfect mocha? Served it piping hot + make it with freshly ground, really strong coffee (in a French press) + creamy steamed milk + rich dark chocolate. Organic French Roast coffee + @treehousemilk Almond Oat milk + 64% cacao Peruvian dark drinking chocolate = first I drink the coffee, then I drink some more! Stay cozy out there, friends!
