Thanksgiving week!!!
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! To me, it’s all about spending time with
friends and family. Baking together,
eating together lounging together, celebrating all that has happened over the
past year, being thankful for what you have, and giving to others!
Because it’s Thanksgiving, we are only planning two meals to
make here at home since we will be sharing food and baking with family for most
of the meals this week. In lieu of all
the dinner recipes I would normally give, I am going to post 2 dinner meals, 1
holiday breakfast, & 1 holiday dessert!
Dinner 1
– Fajitas
Dinner 2 – Chicken
Veggie Noodle Soup
Ingredients
4 cups chicken broth
3 cups of frozen veggies
(I used Normandy Blend)
1 t oregano
1 t basil
½ t pepper
1-2 t salt (to your taste)
1-2 t salt (to your taste)
1 ½ cups uncooked noodles
2 cups cooked chicken
In a saucepan combine broth, veggies, basil, oregano, & pepper. Boil and then reduce the heat to simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Add in your noodles. Return to boiling, then reduce heat & simmer, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until noodles are tender but still firm and vegetables are just tender. Stir in chicken; heat through. This makes about 4 servings.
Pumpkin Cream
Cheese Mix for Breakfast & Dessert
Ingredients Pumpkin Cream Cheese Mix
8oz Neufchatel cheese, softened
1 can pumpkin
1 t Cinnamon
½ t All Spice
½ t Nutmeg
½ t Ginger
2 T Sugar (or more for something sweeter)
Combine spices
in a bowl and then add in pumpkin and softened cheese. Use 1/2 for the Breakfast and ½ for the
Dessert.
***This mix will be good for 1 large pan of the Pumpkin Swirl Brownies and 8 Pumpkin Crescent Wrap-Ups.
Holiday Breakfast
– Pumpkin Crescent Wrap-Ups
You will need 1 crescent packages. Half the Pumpkin Cream
Cheese mix. 1 cup chopped pecans (set 1/4 cup aside),
2 T melted butter, 2 T brown sugar mixed together.
Unwrap the crescents, plop spoonfuls of the pumpkin cream
cheese mix onto the crescents.
You can do as I did and add 1/4 cup of chopped pecans on top of the pumpkin mixture and then wrap them.
Top them with your sugary pecan mixture
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until golden.
