Holiday Events!
Thanksgiving 2010 - Our Thanks to You!
Thanksgiving is a great holiday! It's the annual event that unites all Americans with different traditions, but all centering around thanks and gratefulness for bountiful food, family, and friends.

IN THIS ISSUE, we offer a flurry of tips for the BIG day and hope that you'll be able to put them to good use in the days ahead. We include three recipes that are delicious any time of the year, but might provide some added inspiration for this year's celebration. In this season of thanks, we'd like to extend our gratitude to you for your loyalty and for being the most important part of our business.
Thank you!

Old-Fashioned American Beef Stew

Old-Fashioned American Beef Stew

We fell in love with this recipe as a worthy alternative to roasting a whole bird. The boneless turkey breasts are flattened, filled with a savory stuffing, and rolled for baking. The slices of turkey were moist, and incredibly delicious with the Marsala sauce. This preparation politely shares the oven, works for small or large crowds equally well, and more than satisfies the demand for turkey.

As Chef Rodgers points out, this dish is a hearty side that doubles as the entrée for vegetarians. Seasonal squash is tossed with sautéed onions, garlic, red pepper, and rice, then dressed with Gruyère cheese into a succulent casserole. It's topped with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, then baked to golden perfection. Squash has never been quite this luscious before.

We know Thanksgiving is all about pie for dessert, but if you want to mix things up a bit, try this scrumptious pumpkin currant cake replete with fall spices. Created for a Bundt pan, we couldn't resist making individual portions in pumpkin shapes. They delight both the eye and the palate while still leaving room on the plate for a slice of pie. Great for serving during the weekend of celebrating.
