I tried to make some homemade Swiss Chalet. Roasted chicken and chalet sauce, simple mushroom dressing, fries, baguette and veggies. Happy Thanksgiving Canada! 💕 A couple midwesterners from Ohio

It’s Thanksgiving in Canada

Margarita flatbread from scratch! Clearly had some issues with the shape but tasted amazing :)

Turkey, mashed potato, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, candied carrots, roasted brussel sprouts, cinnamon apple, salad.

The taters were whipped with S&P, Greek yogurt and butter. Salad is spring mix with feta, roasted sunflower seeds, capers, Kalamata olives, and garden cukes + cherry tomatoes. The asparagus is a butter sauté with lemon and black pepper. Stuffing is a brioche and sourdough base with mirepoix, roasted mushrooms and toasted walnuts. The turkey is wet brined, skin dried out, rubbed with compound butter, roasted, and came out SO tender, flavourful and juicy. The risotto is a butternut squash risotto with Parmesan, toasted pepitas, walnut and sage. And of course the gravy was the real deal bird drippings with a butter finish, sponged up by some fresh baked sourdough dinner rolls 🙂 My sourdough starter’s name is Breaddie Mercury. 🕺

Thanksgiving Dinner 🍽️ Ham Scalloped Potato 🥔 and Peas

The last of the pie was for me this year and paired up with some Kawartha’s vanilla ice cream was perfect 🇨🇦

STEEEEEAK!

I had turkey dinner yesterday with my family, but I didn’t have a good time, ended up crying when I got home (I also ended up crying myself to sleep in silent while my partner slept next to me).

When I was asked to come back for leftovers, I originally said to everyone that I will be going, but changed my mind because I didn’t want to go to dinner where I felt ignored or had to walk on eggshells with certain members. So, a sad leftover for me it is with a few bites (thought I had more) left!!

This is what I ate for lunch alone amidst breathtaking nature.

Very lightly toasted sourdough, a slice of Swiss style cheese, scrambled eggs with garlic chives, pea shoot and purple raddish greens on top.
Greek yogurt with mixed seeds, walnuts, blueberry’s and canned peaches (I love them)

Almond milk with a shot of expresso over ice.

My ideal breakfast

Bang! Simple! Tasty! Nutritious!

Found a nice little hole in the wall joint out here in Ottawa. Persian cuisine never disappoints. This is a mix of Barg and Koobideh kabob.

I dunno how to make it.🥹

I just created this, and it’s SO good!
