Tasty Tips from Tina - November 2008
November 18, 2008
Growing up in an Italian family we never had the traditional Thanksgiving extravaganza. We had ham, candied sweet potatoes, cream cheese stuffed celery and stuffed shells and homemade garlic bread. The ham was always served on the same Jewel Tea platter and the celery was served in a small, silver serving dish. The first time Ron had dinner with my family he quietly leaned over and asked where the turkey was. I told him my dad didn’t like turkey so we had ham. Then on Christmas when we had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and lasagna and homemade garlic bread, he leaned over and said, “I thought your dad didn’t like turkey?” Well, he likes it on Christmas. The man still married me. I guess the important thing about holidays is that there is some tradition involved.
My recipe this month isn’t going to be a traditional Thanksgiving Day recipe but one for the day after. After the first leftover turkey sandwich I’m about done with the bird. This is a quick one dish recipe that hits all the food groups.
