TV Dinners

I was recently reminded of a Third Thursday event we hosted in the Fall. We wanted to celebrate the launch of the Time Warner Cable series, so Caitlin created a menu highlighting the best of TV Dinners. Of course a TV Dinner menu created by Caitlin was inspired by the frozen food section at your local grocery…only turned upside down.

TV Dinner Menu:

“Bagel Bites.” Open faced bagels with a butter basted cherry tomato sauce and homemade ricotta cheese. Topped with fresh basil and parsley.

“Fish Sticks.” Catfish dredged in dill and Panko and served with a homemade tartar sauce.

“Quiche.” Homemade pie dough filled with sautéed butternut squash with fresh ginger, jalapeños, and sage and egg custard.

“Salisbury Steak.” Grilled flank steak topped with a truffle gravy on a rye bun smothered in homemade mashed potatoes.

“Roasted Turkey Dinner.” Slow cooked turkey tenderloin in a apple cider sage gravy with Aunt Patty’s stuffing filled with celery, raisins and mushrooms.

“Brownie Batter” pudding. Homemade chocolate pudding tempered into brownie batter, served with an assortment of sprinkles.

“Harvest Apples.” Diced Gala apples cooked with Chinese five spice, brown sugar and reduced with brandy. Served in homemade almond and cinnamon pizzelle.
