Last week I was invited to the Boston Market Test Kitchen (did you know their corporate office is right here in Golden?) They were showcasing their full Thanksgiving dinner. I often joke that my family must not trust my cooking when I am tasked to bring the ice to Thanksgiving dinner. But really, if I could totally pass off the amazing full thanksgiving meals at Boston Market as my own they would want me to “cook” every year! Meals include turkey, stuffing (my fave!), potatoes, gravy, cranberry relish, rolls and pies! Plus, one option even includes appetizers! They also had some great ideas on how to punch up what you can get there with something to make it your own. Mix ins to the potatoes, brulee the pumpkin pie or they had the most AWESOME leftover recipe. Order yours now.
