How to Make a Full Thanksgiving Dinner in Just One Pot

Cooking Thanksgiving dinner, especially for just a few people, doesn’t mean you have to break out every pot, pan, and baking dish in your kitchen to pull it off. In fact, all the essential dishes of the meal can actually cook together in a single 5.25-quart Le Creuset Dutch oven.This versatile, tall-sided pot can be layered with mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and a juicy herbed turkey breast and cooked together for the ultimate — and even portable — one-pot meal.

What To Do With Amaranth

Like quinoa, amaranth is an ancient, protein-packed seed. The tiny poppy seed-size “grain” was a staple of the Aztecs and Mayans. We must admit that we initially weren’t quite sure about amaranth, though. The first time we cooked it for dinner, we expected it to be fluffy like quinoa and were startled when it turned to sticky mush! However, we did like the malty, slightly nutty flavor and were determined to figure out what to do with it.
