I'm a total housewife


For the last week, I've been test-running recipes for Thanksgiving. Brother Steve is coming over, but besides that it's just Seamus, KT and I. Nevertheless, there's some pressure. I like to cook, but don't entertain much.

So here's what I've got planned: Bean birds, which are basically little bean roasts, Kale with carmelized onions and almonds (my favorite recipe of the bunch), salad, brussel sprout and roasted red pepper soup, and a chocolate-pumpkin cheesecake. We'll see whether Steve can make it through a meal without meat.

Today I made the cheesecake and stock for the soup during Seamus' nap. I'm not I'll be able to leave the cake alone for 48 hours.

I like the brussel sprout soup the best!
