Inspiring an Out Of The Ordinary Thanksgiving Meal

Did anyone else notice the Christmas decor on the shelves before Halloween even happened this year?   We’re just as excited for the main event as the next person, but there’s no way we’re skipping over Thanksgiving!

We’re back again with some out-of-the-ordinary yet tasty items to fill your Thanksgiving table. It’s true you can find just about anything on the internet, but we didn’t have to look too hard for these tried and true concepts.

Vodka or Water in your pie crust? Vodka!!

So now you know the secret to Grandma’s flaky pie crust. Vodka, or any distilled liquid actually. Our friends at allrecipes explain the straight science behind it and share some tips on how to do it right. And you thought Granny was drinking water while she baked!

A Friendsgiving Ice Cream Meal

Yup, you can serve an entire 5-course Thanksgivingish meal out of ice cream!  The masterminds behind this brilliant concept are local favorites, Salt & Straw.  Their Friendsgiving Series has you covered!  From Turkey with cranberry sauce to Sweet Potatoe Pie, right down to the dinner rolls!

Hmm, one scoop of dinner roll and one scoop of turkey and we’ve got our next day leftover turkey sandwich!

Pineapple Turkey

We can’t have a Thanksgiving meal without a little pineapple, it just wouldn’t be right.  We’ve done the ham and pineapple, we’ve done the pineapple glazed turkey.  Now let’s try combining the two!  Who’s up for a Rolled Pineapple Turkey Roast stuffed with sausage and pineapple?  

As always we want to stress that it’s not about what you eat, it’s about spending time with people you care about. Be sure to reach out to your loved ones through social media, via video chat, or even the old-fashioned way.. make a phone call.

We hope that you have a wonderful holiday, and if you happen to try any of our recommendations, be sure to share with us on Facebook or Instagram and be sure to use #Staypinepineapple.
