Greetings from the Big Apple! I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving holiday as much as we are. Runs in Central Park, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, store windows on 5th Avenue…the holidays are upon us.
The funny thing about me is that I crave the leftovers and side dishes almost more then I crave the special occassion dinners! For instance, in my family, Cranberry Nut Bread always makes an appearance this time of year. It comes together so easily. I anxiously anticipate it with a hot cup of coffee or tea, anytime of day.
Also, this Turkey and Wild Rice Salad is a reason to cook turkey all year long. Wild rice, dried cranberries, toasted almonds, scallions, and a quick Dijon vinaigrette give leftover turkey new life in this tasty dish. Serve it with soup and crusty bread for dinner, or on its own for lunch.
May the spirit of Thanksgiving last, and last, and last…
yum!
