Slow cooked Cranberry Turkey

This year for thanksgiving I wanted to try cooking my turkey in the slow cooker, and I have to say that the result was great! The sweetness of the cranberry and the flavor of the orange was a wonderful match!


What you need:

A small butterball turkey breast
1 can cranberry sauce
1 pack onion soup mix
1/2 cup orange juice

In a bowl mix the cranberry sauce, orange juice and onion soup mix. Pour a little bit of extravirgin olive oil at the bottom of the crock pot. Place your turkey inside the slow cooker and pour the cranberry mixture on top. Cook on low for 7 hours. Enjoy! Buon Appetito!

Pecan Pie

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Today to celebrate this holiday I wanted to show you one of the many delicious things that are going to be part of our thanksgiving super dinner... Pecan Pie! I always bought this delish desserts, but this year I wanted to make it myself and I am very proud of the result!


All you need is:

Pie Crust
1-1/3 cups of Pecans
3/4 cup corn syrup (Light or dark)
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 Tbsp melted butter
1 Tsp Vanilla extract
3 eggs
Preheat the oven at 425 F and cook the pie crust for 15 minutes, until golden. (Remember to make some holes in the pie crust with the fork, so it wont rise... or if you prefer put some aluminum foil with dry beans)
In the mean time, just mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl, adding the chopped pecans for last. Pour the mixture in the pie crust and bake at 350 F for 45-50 minutes. Enjoy! Buon Appetito!
