Thanksgiving

I had a Thanksgiving with my family in my hometown of Chilton, but I wanted to have a little Thanksgiving of my own with just myself and my boyfriend. I couldn't have a Thanksgiving without cooking anything. Plus it meant more leftovers!

I won't post recipes here because mostly everything I made is pretty traditional Thanksgiving food. So just enjoy the photos.

Alex is a vegetarian, and it was just the two of us so I didn't make turkey, instead I made a Cornish Hen, it was adorable.


I made these red potatoes with onion, garlic, and butter instead of mashed potatoes, they were delicious.


Cornbread stuffing


Baked cheese and vegetable twist


Green bean casserole


Cranberry sauce (yes, out of the can! Alex insisted on it.)


And of course pumpkin pie

Butterscotch Apple Cake

I found this recipe at Noblepig.com

Ingredients:
1 c vegetable oil
2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
2 c chopped pecans
3 c chopped peeled apples
1 c butterscotch chips
caramel sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

First mix oil and sugar together, and then add the eggs beating after each one.

Add flour, baking soda, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and mix together. Stir in vanilla, the chopped apples, and the chopped pecans.



Spread in a 13x9 in. pan. the batter will be thick.



Sprinkle with butterscotch chips.


Bake for 55 minutes. The center will seem a little wobbly, but it needs to cool completely in the pan.


Garnish with caramel sauce.
