Thanksgiving in July

Saturday night we hosted a Thanksgiving-in-Summer feast at our tiny apartment! The idea came about last weekend when I pulled a turkey out of the freezer that I had gotten for free at work last fall. It sat in the fridge all week, and come Saturday morning we realized it had been thawed a few times previously. Not wanting to make anyone sick, we decided to bag the full turkey idea and picked up a few turkey breasts at Hannaford. After a morning stop to the Montpelier's Farmer's Market we had ourselves some fixings for a feast.

Our menu included:

Appetizers

• Pete's Greens' cherry tomatoes, Pete's Greens' basil, and Maplebrook mozzarella salad. 
• Cabot cheddar cheeses and crackers

Entree

• Sage-Roasted Turkey Breasts (with Pete's Greens sage from our CSA)
• Marshmallow Sweet Potato
• Stuffing 
• Cheesy Zucchini and Summer Squash with Garlic and Parsley, using all Pete's Greens vegetables and herbs from our CSA
• Red Hen Waitsfield Common Bread

Dessert:

• Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream (made by Tom)
• Blueberry and Raspberry Pie (made by me)

Needless to say, we were stuffed after dinner. But seriously, who can pass up homemade pie and ice cream?
