Thanksgiving



I love Thanksgiving food, as I'm sure most people do because it's all about comfort food. Alex and I had our own Thanksgiving meal and it was delicious. We made green bean casserole, garlic mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegetable pot pie, and pumpkin pie. Here are some pictures:

Asparugus with Mustard sauce


Asparagus
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp mustard (wholegrain or Dijon)
1 tsp honey
1/2 c. heavy whipping cream

Break off the woody part of the asparagus while the wok is heating. Add olive oil to the wok and stir fry the onion for 2-3 minutes. Add the crushed garlic and heat for another minute.


Then add the asparagus and cook for 5-10 minutes until the desired tenderness.



Set the hot asparagus aside and add the mustard, honey, and cream to the wok.


Let the mixture boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer until it thickens slightly. Add the asparagus and coat with mustard sauce
