thanksgiving take two

We got a last minute invitation to Gus's cousin's house for Thanksgiving dinner, so we abandoned our turkey and trimmings in the refrigerator for another day. Saturday we busted it out and put together our own belated Thanksgiving dinner. I posted our menu on Facebook and some folks asked for recipes so here you go ...

Chipotle Smashed Sweet Potatoes - These were BOMB. Definitely making these a Thanksgiving tradition.

Spicy Cranberry Chutney - I used Thai chilis rather than jalapenos and added some cardamom and cinnamon. This was also an opportunity to use the oranges and lemons from our citrus trees in the backyard.

Corn Pudding - Found this one on Pinterest. Someone in Gus's family always makes this awesome corn souffle and this is the best recreation I've found. I even made this for the daycare's Thanksgiving dinner and those little turkeys gobbled it up.

We've got plenty of leftovers!
