I look forward to Thanksgiving dinner every single year,
counting down the days to that moist, delicious turkey. For me, the two most
important components of Thanksgiving are the savoury, flavourful gravy that can
only be perfected with real turkey juice and a decadent dessert to top it all off.
The Perfect Gravy
The secret to the perfect gravy is browning the flour. Skip
the package, because all you really need is flour, turkey juice, a bit of broth
or water, and some salt.
Depending on how much gravy you’re making, throw about a cup
or two of flour into a pan and let it brown, stirring every once in a while.
Once it has reached a nice, light brown colour, add in the turkey juice and
broth/water until it reaches a nice, thick, gravy consistency. Use a whisk to
mix the liquids in and break up the lumps. Add salt/pepper.
If it’s still lumpy after, run it through your blender or
use a hand blender to smooth it all out.
Thanksgiving Dessert
Make sure to go out with a bang and finish off your perfect
Thanksgiving dinner with the perfect Thanksgiving dessert. Here are a few
tasty, simple desserts I’ve tried.
This is a super easy recipe, I topped mine off with candied
pecans and whipped cream.
You can’t go wrong with old fashion apple pie to finish off the perfect Thanksgiving meal. Serve it warm with a side of maple walnut ice cream and you’ve got the end to a perfect meal.
Pretty much impossible to ruin. This smooth, chocolatey
torte is a hit with any crowd. Make sure to serve thinner slices because it can
be quite rich.
Good old chocolate cake. This is a fail-proof recipe for traditional
chocolate cake. You can top it off with the original chocolate cream cheese
frosting included or use a more traditional
chocolate frosting.

Trying to figure out what to serve as a side? Give Brussels sprouts a chance this year with one of these delicious recipes. I promise it'll renew your faith in these funny looking veggies.
