CFG's Favorite Things: Thanksgiving Recipes
John F. Francis. Wine, Cheese, and Fruit, 1857. The Art Institute of Chicago.
As Thanksgiving nears, we look forward to gathering with family and friends. To make your celebration special, we’re happy to share our favorite drinks, tasty side dishes, and an impressive dessert that will delight your guests and your table scape!
TO TOAST
A Fig Old Fashioned is a sweet seasonal twist on a classic cocktail.
Your guest will be delighted to be greeted with a mug of Swedish-style Glögg when they arrive in from the cold.
Non-drinkers deserve a festive beverage too! The richly spiced Starlite Winter Mocktail is an excellent option for teetotalers and imbibers alike.
Snacks and Starters
Instead of the classic crackers and cheese, why not bring over a warm Baked Brie with Boozy Fruit and baguette?
Stuffed Mushrooms are a retro classic for a reason, especially when stuffed with shallots and topped with panko.
Gin Marinated Olives are so good and impressive that it’s almost unbelievable how easy they are to make.
TO ACCOMPANY YOUR TURKEY
The traditionalist table would not be complete without A Classic Sweet Potato Casserole.
If you always wish your Thanksgiving dinner had another fresh vegetable, why not try a Fall Bliss Salad?
Stuffing is deeply personal. If you’re still looking for your favorite recipe, may we recommend this Buttered Stuffing with Celery and Leeks?
Sweet Endings
Nantucket Pie is a vintage New England cranberry cake that fits right into today’s Thanksgiving table.
