Rae lives and farms on Barr Farms with her family. She loves cooking healthy food, trying new things, deep conversations with friends, reading, learning, and playing, especially with her three children.
Here's a draft of my Thanksgiving menu, based on what we have available this year.It's always fun for us to try and keep it as farm-centered as possible. You can order some Thanksgiving Barr Farms fare for your own menu. We have sweet potatoes, butternut, acorn squash, kale, Brussels sprouts, celery and more.
My Draft Thanksgiving Menu for 2020
Whole Roasted Large Chicken (possibly spatchcocked to keep it juicy)
Stuffing: your family's favorite recipe, add mushrooms and celery
Stuffed acorn squash (with stuffing, ground sausage and whole fresh cranberries)
Sweet potato casserole with pecan topping
Lacinato kale salad with sliced almonds and dried bing cherries
Roasted/caramelized brussels sprouts
Rae’s cranberry sauce
Butternut/Sweet potato pie. (Trust me on this one. Skip the pumpkin and go for this combo for a light yet deeply flavorful pie). CSA members should have a recipe for this in their renewal/signup gifts!
