Thankful...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our day was filled with lots of baking and cooking, something that Adam and I both really enjoy. Our mashed potatoes were Yukon Gold's from this year's garden, hardly putting a dent in all of the potatoes that we harvested!

Aside from the delicious mashed potatoes, we had the usual Thanksgiving suspects: turkey, green bean casserole, stuffing, rolls, salad and my favorite goat cheese/ pesto and sun dried tomato spread.


This is one of my favorite salad recipes:


Fresh mixed greens
Gorgonzola Cheese Crumbles
Glazed or Candied Walnuts
Sliced Apples or Pears
Dried Cranberries

Dressing- there's no measurements, I usually just mix everything to taste!
Balsamic vinegar
Vegetable oil or olive oil (personally I stay away from olive oil because of an allergic reaction) 
Minced garlic
Brown sugar
Salt and Pepper

Whisk all of these ingredients together and dress the salad- Enjoy!

We also spent some time at the farm, and while there- it is always easy to think of what we are thankful for. We're thankful for great family and friends, an opportunity to purchase an acreage of our own, grow healthy and nutritious food for others and ourselves, and careers that keep us busy.
