Do you feel overwhelmed by the Holidays? Do you need something fabulous looking and mouth-watering to bring to a party, but just don't have the time to prepare a dish?
Thanksgiving might be over, but there are plenty more parties and family gatherings when slaving over a hot stove is not an option. Whole Foods saves the day with their "Holiday Menu".
There are many menu plans from which to choose, but here are two examples below. (The full menu is also shown below--click images to enlarge).
Latin Holiday Feast – Serves Four
6-8 Pound Oven Roasted Turkey, Pork and Pumpkin Tamales, Spanish Rice, Black Beans, Mole Sauce, Dinner Rolls, and a ½ Pumpkin Pie
Traditional Turkey Dinner – Serves Eight
10-12 Pound Oven Roasted Diestel Turkey, Savory Herb Stuffing, Classic Cranberry Relish, Mashed Potatoes, Turkey Gravy, Dinner Rolls, and a Pumpkin Pie
Here's the sample platter I picked up. I wanted to try some of the side items, because they just sounded healthier and more interesting than regular turkey or mashed potatoes. Starting at the very top (12 o'clock) is the stuffed acorn squash, then the roasted root vegetables, then the sausage and sage stuffing, followed by the butternut squash salad, then the cranberry sauce. In the center (though hard to see) is the pork and pumpkin tamales.
My favorite from the platter was the pork and pumpkin tamales. I was given such a small sample, so it's a shame you can't really see them in the picture. Of all the things I tried, I found it to be the most tasty and the most worth actually paying someone else to make for you, since tamales are so labor intensive. My friend's favorite was the sausage and sage stuffing.
