- turkey breast roast (my dad hates everything about turkey except the white meat, so he only buys turkey breast roasts and usually has 3 or 4 of them in his freezer at any given time) roasted with double smoked bacon & sausages made by a local butcher
- potato cakes made with garlic & Parmesan cheese; a departure for us, but this is an old dish my grandmother used to make apparently
- stuffing, gravy, yams (only dad eats yams)
- Brussels Sprouts sauteed with bacon & pinenuts & topped with Parmesan (made by yours truly)
- and for dessert, Bakewell Tart, also made by yours truly
Here is a nice collage I made of the meal:Everything was delicious! The recipe for the Brussels is basically this one from this post, only I used regular bacon instead of pancetta, and I topped the dish with Parmesan cheese.
As for the dessert, Bakewell Tart, my dad has been nagging me for this for a long time, and I finally gave in for this special occasion. He was so thrilled and so impressed and as soon as he bit into it, he said, "This is it!" I don't know why I put him off on this so long, because it was ridiculously easy to make. Alas, I'm not going to post the recipe because I want to use it for my next Bread 'n Molasses article, so you'll have to wait until January! But here is another collage:The cool thing about this year's Thanksgiving is that we're getting two of them in the family! When my brother & SIL get back from their trip, we're having another turkey dinner! This will be later this week, and I'll be making two dishes for it, too. Those recipes I will definitely share, so stay tuned!
I hope my Canadian readers are having a great long weekend!

What an incredible meal! And even better that you'll get a second Thanksgiving dinner too. Nothing wrong with that. I had not heard of bakewell tart before, but it looks and sounds delicious. Can't wait to see the recipe!
Great job on dinner! It looks delicious - love the brussels sprouts recipe!
The perfect Thanksgiving dinner! I am loving those potato cakes. We put bacon on the turkey this year too, yum!
For some reason I made two stuffings... and only 3 of us eat it. I have a heck of a lot of stuffing left!
WOW! That is a beautiful and yummy looking dinner! Love the turkey breasts! YUM.
I'm alone with my son for Thanksgiving dinner tonight and I'm making garlic mashed potatoes, maple roasted veggies, chicken & homemade bread. We have to celebrate even if I'm not with the whole family. Your meal looks delish.
A Simply fabulous dinner WC ! Everything looked perfect, home made, warm, welcoming and traditional...a down right PERFECT thanks giving dinner! my favourite I'd have to say was the potato cakes...but over all... its just GORGEOUS ! Can't wait to see Part 2of your yummilicious creations.

Will be doing that at some point.
Ohhhhh.... I love all of it. Turkey, bacon and that dessert. Wish I had been at the dining table with you guys.
Really nice job on the collages! You rock.
What a great dinner made extra special because you and your dad got to share it. Your post really put me in the mood for OUR Thanksgiving.
This looks so wonderful! I can't wait for thanksgiving to roll around here

Everything looks so delicious! How cool that you get to do it again!
What a feast for the eyes - I'm stuffed!
Good Gawd does that look fantastic! I love Thanksgiving meals! The aftermath ain't so cool, though, cause I eat too much. I would've definitely been in that boat if I had all your delicious food!
