I had this dish years ago at an ex-boyfriend's house while I was there for Thanksgiving dinner and his mom shared her recipe. I am usually pretty traditional and old-fashioned with my Thanksgiving menu, but always make these because they are so good! My relationship didn't last, but this recipe continues to be a favorite, years later!

Bloody Mary Mix
My sister got this recipe from a restaurant in Ohio and all our family loves it. This is very spicy and needs time to blend flavors.
Black Bean and Veggie Enchiladas
Try this twist on an enchilada using Old El Paso® refried black beans; vegetarians and meat eaters will love the delicious taste. These yummy enchiladas are great topped with chopped tomatoes and cilantro and served with sour cream.
Spinach Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Avocado
These mushrooms are delicious on their own, or put them on toasted sourdough bread with Dijon mustard for a great veggie sandwich. Use a mixture of chopped fresh Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme, and parsley).
