Trader Joes pizza dough. We also used leftover filling from the spinach artichoke trees.
Meredith played around with ChatGPT and generated this recipe Spinach + Artichoke Puff Pastry Trees
There was a lot of leftover puff pastry so I combined it where I could and tried to make some kind of leek tart. I put leeks down on a greased parchment paper then used leftover balsamic reduction and put the dough on top. I've seen this a ton of times on Instagram, though I didn't follow any specific recipe. The general idea was okay but between the sweet of the balsamic and the heat of the bottom rack, it kind of burned. Oops.
I also tried to make cheese twists with a similar fate...

Meredith and the kids made Italian Cherry Almond Cookies though they rebranded them "Rudolph Nose Cookies". The kids had a blast making the thumb prints and they were easy!

Meredith made White Bean Soup [Weekday Vegetarians] though she had to use pinto beans for some of it. It was fine. Not amazing but certainly good. The kids rejected it even with the tip on serving.

Meredith kind of just winged it. Had some tomato paste. I think the mashed potatoes were from Costco.

We didn't really do Thanksgiving this year so when we were shopping (on Thanksgiving), I bought this and made it later.
I would absolutely consider just turkey breast in the future. Especially when there weren't a lot of people (or in this case, literally just me) this was so much easier to handle. And can be cooked in the toaster oven.
I just used melted butter with some black pepper, ground thyme, and freshly ground dried rosemary. It worked well. I liked the addition of the pepper.
As often happens, I was glad I spot checked the temp elsewhere as the area near the thermometer was the right temp, the rest was not.

The fondue was frozen from 2024 (we think...not totally sure)

Cranberry Crumb Bars with Mulling Spices [The Smitten Kitchen]
Very much a team effort. I made the crumb and Meredith did the insides. Both with kids help along the way.

This was part one of our Thanksgiving day food. The other was just stuffing waffles with leftover stuffing from 2024.
This was store-bought turkey cut up and made into nachos. Worked well enough.
