What’s Cooking This Weekend? — Weekend of November 23-24, 2013
Reply
It’s the weekend before Thankgiving — are you getting a jumpstart on the holiday? Baking pies, making gravy? Perhaps you are even hosting Thanksgiving early? Or maybe you are looking for quieter, more modest meals. I’m craving spaghetti bolognese so that’s on the menu this weekend. What about you? What are you cooking this weekend? And whatever you’re cooking, listen in on Saturday and Sunday as I talk Thanksgiving with Lynne Rossetto Kasper on The Splendid Table. Tune in — and tell us: what’s cooking this weekend?
Thanksgiving Sangria, Double-Crust Apple Pie, Potato Rolls, Mexican-Spiced Turkey & Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bars — New Recipes from The Kitchn
Let us help you finish up that Thanksgiving menu! From this past week, we have a refreshing cider sangria to serve with Thanksgiving dinner and recipes for both potato rolls and buttermilk biscuits to serve alongside. Branch out from tradition and give this Mexican-spiced turkey a try — but keep the classics for dessert, ok? It doesn’t get much better than pumpkin pie and a double-crust apple pie side by side on the dessert table.
Easy Gift Idea: Etched Wooden Spoons
I’ll go on record saying there’s no such thing as having too many wooden spoons. For gifts this season, you can buy a hand-carved version or carve your own, but there’s a third option you may not have thought of: etched wooden spoons!
Secret Kids Play Space: Table Fort — Apartment Therapy

As you may have noticed, as the week’s progressed, things have gotten simpler. We started with great ambitions — we will make a green bean casserole from scratch! We will trim the beans! make a roux! sauté the mushrooms! coat and deep-fry the onions! We moved onto my favorite stuffing made from torn baguettes, diced apples and onions and celery, three herbs, sometimes cornbread, sometimes sausage; it’s a two-pan ordeal. We slipped quietly into the simple weeknight savior, cauliflower and brown butter breadcrumbs. At the rate we’re going, I’ll have a boiled water recipe on the site by Monday. But somewhere between five-ingredient breadcrumbs and recipes that don’t need to be spelled out, there’s this, a potato recipe with only salt, butter and parsley.
Why slow down? If you’re like me, at the outset of a holiday, you’re brimming with ideas: dry-brined, braise-roasted and deep-fried turkeys! homemade stuffing from homemade bread! individual miniature pies for every person at the table. As the holiday gets closer — not unlike the progression of this week for me — real life begins to creep in. There are day jobs, flu-like symptoms, traffic jams and extremely dull things like dentist appointments doing everything in their power to interrupt. There are only so many hours in the day, and days left in which one can cook. There are only so many hours of those hours in which one can cook that they actually want to.

Why I’m in Favor of Losing the Kids Table for the Holidays
It happens all the time during the holidays: you don’t have enough seats at the dining room table, so you take out the card table and put all the kids together. As a kid, I watched as my cousins “graduated” to the big table, and I waited for my turn to participate in the holiday festivities and conversation.
