Most of the time for Thanksgiving, we never think of adding a starter to the meal frenzy....But you know what??? You should make a statement and stand out from everyone else by serving my "Pilgrim Stew" (no pilgrims was harmed to make it.) It's "essential fall" and makes you all warm and toasty on the inside. From the tender chicken, to the delightful earthiness of the mushrooms, to the touch of sweetness from the butternut squash. Ifin' you can't get it worked into the big menu, than make it with the left over turkey the next day, while puttin' up the Christmas décor. "Don't make the pilgrims said by not trying it."
