Maggie with a Corona

Not sure she’s the coolest dog in town, but she’s cute and the Corona makes this photo food blog worthy — It’s Maggie, my sister’s dog fitting-in well with the boys at a recent holiday party.

Thanksgiving 7

Happy Thanksgiving to YOU from Nibbles of Tidbits, a Food Blog.

Thanksgiving

We’re thankful for great food, drinks, family and friends today and every single day.

Thanksgiving 4

Food should be tasty if you’re making it — That’s what I think.  Make it tasty.

Thanksgiving 2

It is what it is.  Get over it and pass the… Turkey, or whatever you prefer. 😉

Thanksgiving 3

It’s Thanksgiving savings time — Fall back.

Thanksgiving 1

Good thing I didn’t make the Turkey this year, you’d wonder.

Thanksgiving 5

We’re thankful to keep nibbling on tidbits of everything and will report on more soon.

We’re Thankful For Jennie-O’s Turkey And Thanksgiving Menu Ideas.

Jennie-O Turkey

Wow, it was a perfect Turkey that went from the freezer directly into the oven without effort — It’s the Oven Ready Whole Turkey from the Jennie-O Turkey Store.  It’s ready to be cooked in a bag.

Oven Ready Turkey

It’s true what the package says — The Turkey browned in the bag, was tender and tasted great.

Menu

I didn’t know Jennie-O sold such a Turkey.  I didn’t have to remove the giblets, yay!

Turkey and Corn Dish

Since the Turkey was so easy to prepare, I made a complete, early Thanksgiving Dinner.

Brussels Sprouts Side Dish

I got several ideas and inspiration from the Jennie-O website, especially the Holiday Sides page.

Turkey Bacon

And surprisingly I discovered that I like Turkey Bacon, though I wasn’t even sure I wanted to try it. It looks quite different than Bacon in its raw state. It feels like Bologna, kind of looks like a surfboard and fake Bacon with a line running down the middle, but it tastes pretty good, like Bacon.

Raw Turkey Bacon

Turkey Bacon cooks up nice and crisp, but it’s a little harder to tell when it’s done.  I accidentally burnt the first batch, but the second batch (below) turned out well.  There is a fine line between burnt and nicely crisp.  Turkey Bacon is in a few of the Jennie-O Thanksgiving Side Dishes.

Cooked Turkey Bacon

I will definitely buy Jennie-O’s Oven Ready Whole Turkey and Turkey Bacon again.  I appreciate the coupons they sent us.  I gave away a couple of them.  When purchasing Jennie-O’s Oven Ready whole Turkey, a lady in line in front of me, expressed her love for Jennie-O products and had never seen their Oven Ready Whole Turkey, so I gave her one of the Jennie-O coupons to try it too.

Thanksgiving Dinner with Jennie-O

Thank you Jennie-O!  I tried a couple products I never thought to try before and actually really like ’em.  I have a better appreciation of Jennie-O’s products.  They offer much more than we thought.
