Yesterday, we had my mother-in-law over for Thanksgiving.
This was a different sort of Thanksgiving for us. I didn't spend all day cooking a turkey.
Instead, we opted for rib-eye steak, baked potato, salad, a roll, and a piece of pecan pie.
It made for an easy day, the steak was good, we didn't overeat, and I didn't have to worry about leftovers.
While it certainly wasn't traditional (I did miss the turkey a tiny bit), it was so stress-free that I think we may have started a new tradition, for us, anyway.
We seldom purchase steak, and the rib-eyes were not as expensive as I expected them to be.
All of the fixin's may have been missing, but it was a nice meal anyway. And I sure liked the stress-free part.
The stress-free part is the clincher! Glad you had a nice day--and here's to new traditions!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a ribeye in forever. What a delicious way to celebrate Thanksgiving.
