Thanksgiving Menu at One Ash Homestead

Share the Homestead

Is it really November already? It’s so hard to believe that it’s time to start thinking seriously about the holidays and all that food! I really enjoy this time of year- it’s so fun to think about memories of remembered food successes, and those things that weren’t so great. I like getting out paper and pen, and writing down all the things I am wanting to make. Then making the grocery list, and planning when to make the items. That’s one of my traditions- and how I go about planning holiday food.

If you haven’t planned your meal yet, here’s what’s on the Thanksgiving menu at One Ash. I’ve been cooking this same menu for the past 25+ years (has it really been that long? eeek!). It hasn’t changed much over the years, and I love to cook for this holiday! I hope our menu gives you some new (or traditional) ideas! And, of course, we have a LOT of other recipes here on the blog for you to try! (and I’ll be sharing new ones throughout the holidays, so make sure you subscribe to our mailing list to see them!)

One Ash Farm and Dairy Thanksgiving Menu

Turkey– slow roasted and basted, with butter and garlic stuffed under the skin

Stuffing– cooked in a separate pan, allowed to get crunchy on top

Gravy– not giblets, just turkey gravy

Homemade Cranberry Sauce– here’s my recipe

Mashed Potatoes– homemade, with lots of homemade butter

Yams with marshmallows– with the marshmallows golden and toasted

Fried Plantains– caramelized, sweet, and chewy-gooey

Black Beans– an old family recipe from Mr. One Ash’s mother

White Rice– for under the beans (by the way a rice cooker is a must have!)

Green Bean Casserole– the traditional way, recipe on the fried onion can

Lime Holiday Jello– with pineapple, carrots and walnuts, just the way my mom always made it

Homemade Rolls– 30 Minute Rolls, with lots of butter

Pecan Pie– with whipped cream

Pumpkin Pie– with more whipped cream

Guava Paste, Cuban Crackers & Swiss Cheese– really the only dessert we need

I hope you and yours have a blessed and grateful Thanksgiving!
