Turkey Gravy

This hardly qualifies as a recipe. It is basically turkey gravy from a mix, though slightly enhanced. But I made this for Thanksgiving this year, and it was so easy. When trying to get a lot of different dishes all ready at the same time on Thanksgiving Day, anything to simplify the process is welcome, in my opinion. The recipe comes from allrecipes.com . 2 (1.2 ounce) packages turkey gravy mix 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups water 2 cups turkey pan drippings Place the turkey gravy mix and flour into a saucepan, and gradually whisk in the water, followed by the turkey drippings. Whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to low and simmer the gravy until thickened, about 10 minutes (it took less than five for me, but this may depend on personal preference).

Christmas 2014 with the kids and a Heritage Turkey for Supper!

Presents! :-) My Plate! We have a tradition of celebrating Christmas with all the kids and grandkids on the Saturday after Christmas. Everyone is welcome to come over on Christmas day if possible, but my stepkids and their children have in-laws and other parents to visit. So, I decided to take the pressure off them and insure that I get a good day with them, without them having to rush off! It's worked out well. This year, Kayleigh, Joe and Jack had to stay home with baby Benjamin, since he's so young and susceptible to the flu and respiratory illness that's out there! I received an early Christmas present from my foodie friend Mary over at  All Things Food - Cooking with Mary and Friends . She brought me one of the turkeys that she received from Paradise Acre Farm .  Tom and Denise offer awesome pastured poultry, eggs and gluten free baked goods that they sell at the Rosewood Market in Columbia, SC. Roast Garlic Teriyaki Turkey This is a very easy way to make a Thanksgivin...
