Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Not my favorite holiday, but I’m always grateful for a long weekend and time with family and friends. Since California is too far and too expensive for just a four-day weekend, the bf and I decided to stay in town this year. Boston is like a ghost town during the holidays since all the students go home. However, it’s kind of nice to have that quiet. Tomorrow we will be going to Tavern in the Square in Allston to serve Thanksgiving dinner to the poor (because I just can’t get enough waitressing)…but I do love that it’s for a really great cause. Afterward, we’ll be venturing out to the South End to have Thanksgiving dinner with my friend Ari and her brother who are sweet enough to host all the “orphan” kids with no family in the area. I have some champagne chilling and also made some Crab Stuffed Mushrooms to take as appies. These things are the bomb!! Not vegetarian, but they are pescetarian. Follow the link for the recipe.
Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
These are the perfect appetizer. Low cal, not too filling and always a big hit! Will also be taking these to Christmas dinner with the fam in California as well as some chocolate dipped macaroons (will keep you posted on those).
What’s everyone doing to celebrate Thanksgiving?? Making anything out of the ordinary?? Let me know…I’m always looking to expand my cookbook.
Happy Thanksgiving!
