Hello friends! For Thanksgiving we love to smoke a turkey breast roast on the Traeger, glazed sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, rolls, a green salad, and some sort of appetizer like bacon wrapped dates and deviled eggs. We go ice fishing in the morning as a tradition!

Thanks for watching Kaylee, glad you enjoy seeing Alaska. That burger sounds really good with the onions, thanks for the suggestion!

apple pears are Nashi Pears - is an Asian Fruit. Sous Vide - French means under vacuum. You season your meat with salt and pepper - not rubs add herbs, garlic to the bag and vacuum seal the bag and cook it at the precise temperature for how you like your meat/chicken etc. in a water bath fro rare to well done. I bought one for my son ages ago. You will find recipes on the internet.

My family makes a recipe with those crispy onions that we all love: 1 6oz box of chicken flavored rice 1 10oz can cream of mushroom soup 1 8oz container of sour cream 1 whole rotisserie chicken 6oz of French fried onions Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare rice according to package directions. While rice is cooking shred the chicken. When rice is done add the can of soup and sour cream. Add the chicken and mix together. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven, add the onions and bake 5 more minutes and then eat.

Just wanted to add it may depend on where you live in the UK, Melbourne Australia was in hard for 265days and as we had a 5km travel limit where l live in the Western suburbs of Melbourne we would have shortages often but yet someone in South Eastern suburbs may not have, it was a supply chain issue for us as most of the warehouses in the West had skeleton staff and truck drivers due to outbreaks. Hoping that makes sense. Have a great weekend. 🙂

Pepsi plant used to pour it on their tiled loading dock floor to cut the grease and diesel from the rigs. Changed my opinion after watching that. It's a trick used cleaning grills too at fast food places. Ewww Our Thanksgiving is in October and basically the same foods unless wild game or fish is available.

The French fried onions are awesome as a crust for chicken or on a salad! We eat them that way all of the time! So good!❤️
