A classic, easy cranberry sauce recipe for your turkey centerpiece. Store bought tastes nothing like this homemade version! The touch of lemon zest is what makes that little extra difference. Adjust the sweetness to your taste. This to me has a nice balance of sweet / tart, without being overly sweet like jam. Easy to adjust thickness with more water so don't worry if it gets too thick when it cools. Makes almost 3 cups.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

I tried store bought cranberry sauce once many years ago and it turned me right off it. It just tasted like….jam. I may as well have slathered my turkey with strawberry jam!

It wasn’t until I started to take on the roast turkey centerpiece for holiday gatherings that I decided to give Cranberry Sauce another go…and well, well, well, what do you know? Homemade cranberry sauce is sensational! It’s nothing like store bought. It tastes (shock horror) like cranberries!

Ingredients

  • 16 oz bag frozen cranberries (or fresh)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/8 tsp lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  • Tip the cranberries in a saucepan set over medium low heat. Remove a heaped 1/2 cup of cranberries and set aside.
  • Add remaining ingredients. Cook for 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
  • Increase heat to medium high. Cook for 10 minutes or until most of the cranberries have burst and the liquid is syrupy.
  • Reduce heat to low, stir through reserved cranberries. Adjust sweetness to your taste with more sugar and add a pinch of salt. 
  • Allow to cool and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Best served at room temperature or warm. Serve with a juicy Roast Turkey - or Slow Cooker Turkey Breast or Roasted Breast.

Garlic and Herb Roasted Turkey

Recipe Courtesy of: Delish

https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a44466/garlic-and-herb-roasted-turkey/

Ingredients

12-14 lb. turkey, thawed (if frozen)
heads garlic, halved horizontally through the equator
lemon, halved
small onions, quartered
14 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tbsp. olive oil
kosher salt
large carrots, cut into 2-in. pieces
stalks celery, cut into 2-in. pieces
3/4 c. low-sodium chicken broth
Fresh herbs, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Working on a baking sheet, remove the giblets and neck of the turkey from the cavities. Reserve the neck and discard the giblets. Using paper towels, pat the turkey dry. Stuff the garlic, lemon, half the onions and 10 sprigs thyme into the main cavity.
  2. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Tuck the wing tips underneath the body (this will prevent them from burning). Rub the turkey with the oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Place the turkey neck, carrots, celery, the remaining onions and the remaining thyme in a large roasting pan. Place a roasting rack in the pan and put the turkey on top of it.
  4. Roast the turkey until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F, 21/2 to 3 hours. (Cover the bird loosely with foil if it browns too quickly, and add the broth to the pan if the vegetables begin to scorch.)
  5. Carefully tilt the turkey to empty the juices from the cavity into the pan. Transfer the turkey to empty the juices from the cavity into the pan. Transfer the turkey to a carving board. Cover loosely with foil and let rest for at least 25 minutes. Reserve the pan and its contents for gravy. Carve the turkey and garnish with herbs as desired.

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin pie filling

  • In a large bowl, mix ice cream and pie filling until blended. Spread into prepared crust; sprinkle with pie spice. Freeze, covered, 8 hours or overnight.

 

 

 


 Orthodontic Myth Busters

 

MYTH:

 

 

Office visits are not necessary to get straight teeth.

 

FACT:

 

No Visits = No Monitoring = No Good

The reality is that the health of your gums, teeth and jaws cannot be monitored during treatment if you are never seen by a qualified orthodontist. Even the most carefully planned treatments need to be closely monitored to ensure that your treatment stays on course. These visits must be completed by a trained orthodontist should a problem arise or a mid-course treatment correction be needed. The good news is that today’s technology has allowed patients to extend intervals between appointments to as long as 8 to 10 weeks.

Happy Thanksgiving 

In this season of gratitude, we would like to express our appreciation for your trust in our orthodontic services. It's patients like you who let us do what we love every day. Thank you for the part you play in the success of our practice.

Whether you are one of the 3.5 million spectators in New York, or one of the 50 million television viewers, watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a tradition in many households. The parade debuted in 1924, when the department store wanted to host an event to showcase the opening of their 1 million square foot store. The first parade marched over six miles, and the floats featured characters from favorite nursery rhymes, and of course, Santa Claus in his sleigh. Today, the parade has shortened its route, but expanded its marchers to include helium balloons, marching bands, celebrities and cheerleaders. However, Santa Claus still holds his iconic spot in the lineup, ringing in the Christmas season at the end of the parade.

We hope this Thanksgiving season finds you happy and healthy.

Thank you for showing your confidence in us through the referral of your family and friends!
