canadian thanksgiving

I’ll take any excuse to eat a huge meal with friends and family, so it’s no surprise I spent the weekend at multiple Thanksgiving meals around London.

On Monday though I hosted a few London friends for a traditional “Canadia” Thanksgiving. There are a few limitations to hosting a large meal for 6 people in London. First, I don’t have a car, so it was 4 arm-breaking trips to the shops to get the necessary supplies to make the meal. Then, I had to do some serous project planning and ghant chart the preparations so I could use the small London flat kitchen and teeny stove efficiently.  I’m so thankful it came together and will be enjoying leftovers for days (the best part of hosting!)

Menu
Welcome cocktail: Canadian Whiskey Sour (was delicious and I hate whiskey)
Turkey (thighs & breast since I couldn’t source a full Turkey so early in the year here)
Stovetop Stuffing
Creamy Mash
Brown sugar glazed sweet potatoes
Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
Biscuits (mom’s recipe – soz)
Whiskey glazed carrots
Boat loads of gravy (made my own but also bought reinforcements from Whole Foods)
