Looking for Thanksgiving inspiration? Perhaps this will help. Use all or just a few of the recipes, but make sure you share the link for this blog post with your friends and family. Know that we (at My Symphony Seasonings) are so thankful for your 'shares' & support!
For starters, put together this delicious Baked Cranberry Brie Bread. Make the Cranberry relish a day or two before you need it to save time and serve with Apple Cider Mimosas.
Don't forget to put out a dish with My Symphony Seasonings' Sweet Harvest so your guests can rim their glasses then fill them with cider and sparkling wine. Serve the bread whole, but place a bread knife nearby so your guests can help themselves to a piece while it's warm.
As your hungry guests start to gather, have this soup on the ready in a slow cooker surrounded by toppings like chopped pistachios, bacon pieces, crumbled feta, oil etc.
Just place bowls, spoons and napkins next to it so your guests can serve themselves while you are finishing up in the kitchen. Another bonus is that soup is always better the next day since the ingredients have had time to marry so prepare accordingly. This soup can be made with any squash like butternut or pumpkin.
