On the Menu for Thanksgiving 2014

Hi Everyone! Before I tell you about my sumptuous Thanksgiving Buffet Menu for 2014, I have a super-exciting announcement! Not only do I have a fabulous BRAND NEW WEBSITE which I invite you to peruse, MPM’s recipes are now organized into convenient categories and collections and are available in an easier to read and print format which I think you will love.

Think it’s hopeless to stick to your healthy eating plan during Thanksgiving? Well then do explore my delicious buffet menu for 2014 filled with bunches of good-for-you Thanksgiving dishes with all the tantalizing flavors and aromas you crave at this special time of the year. And- still leaving your waistband feeling loose enough to mindfully indulge in a few sweet treats if you like after the meal! Looking for some fantastic new dishes your friends and family will enjoy? Then hop over to my new website to visit my yummy Thanksgiving recipe collection which contains everything you need to make wonderful meals and enticing treats throughout the holiday weekend.

My two featured starters this year are Chilled Shrimp with Spicy Mango Mayo and Baked Brie with Cranberry Chutney which are guaranteed to disappear in a flash. For the main event, Maple-Orange Glazed Turkey Breast is the perfect Thanksgiving buffet choice as it’s so easy to prepare and serve. Butternut Squash ‘n Spinach Lasagna is a scrumptious vegetarian entrée that is as beautiful as it satisfying.

As Thanksgiving “sides” are my favorite part of the meal, I have lots to share! Mixing up the “new” with some of my classics I offer Easy Stuffin’ Muffins, Parmesan Crunch-Top Potatoes, Mashed Confetti Cauliflower, Balsamic-Glazed Brussels Sprouts and Roasted Dumpling Squash Crumble. All are incredibly flavorful and sure to please.

Pumpkin Cornbread, Autumn Harvest Salad and Chunky Cranberry Applesauce are lovely accompaniments to this festive meal that I would love for you and your guests to enjoy.

Holiday Pumpkin Cheesecake, Autumn Fruits with Dark Chocolate Dip and Apple ‘n Cherry Oat Crumble are quite a fitting finish for this year’s magnificent Thanksgiving Buffet. These healthier indulgences do not scrimp on taste and will look absolutely gorgeous on your table.
