I say the same thing every year – I simply cannot believe the holidays are right around the corner already! How is it that they manage to sneak up on me like this year after year after year?
While we’re going to be traveling to Connecticut, to my wife’s parents’ house for Thanksgiving this year, I wanted to use the next couple weeks as time to plan and cook a small, Kamado-style Thanksgiving dinner for the three of us. Nothing huge, but a smoked turkey is definitely in order, as are my tried and true coal-roasted sweet potatoes, and yes, say what you will, but I don’t do Thanksgiving without a cheap, generic can of sliced cranberry sauce! We’ll probably finish it off with an apple pie cooked in a cast-iron skillet on the grill. Can’t wait!
I know many of you guys are busy planning your Thanksgiving feasts as well, so I’d love to hear what’s on your menu and how you plan on cooking everything – leave me a comment below!
