Thanksgiving Round-Up

It only seems appropriate that today, the beginning of the most wonderful food week of the year, I do a round-up of the Thanksgiving-ready dishes that live here on Sly Rooster. Some would fall into the “traditional” category (always with a twist) and others, well, less so.

So here it goes, a summary of recipes that I hope will make an appearance on many of your Thanksgiving tables. May your week be filled with family, friends-who-are-like-family, good food, delicious drink, laughs, hugs, naps, brisk walks, football and very little political debate. Enjoy!
