| Gimme dat turkey! |
I offered to bring a few appetizers since the Thanksgiving staples were taken care of. They included a turkey (of course!), mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, mac & cheese (with avocado and basil), crescent rolls, brussels sprouts salad and sweet potatoes. A feast! I've already emailed Katie to rave about her brussels sprouts salad and beg for the recipe.
Anyway, for appetizers I made a jalapeno-cranberry cream cheese dip which I thought was good, not great. But the real show stopper was the amazing artichoke-olive spread I made. It was a huge hit and I'll definitely be making it again. I've said it before but Smitten Kitchen never lets me down!
To wash everything down I brought a few bottles of wine. I also made a big batch of Cranberry-Ginger Cosmos to share.
3 parts vodka
2 parts cranberry juice
1 part lime juice
1 part Cointreau (or triple sec)
4 large pieces of ginger
I muddled the ginger a bit and poured the rest of the ingredients in my carafe, then viola!
The evening was a huge success!
