THANKS (FOR NOTHING) GIVING HIGH HEEL CONCEPT MEAL

It's that time of year to roll up your sleeves and stand in front of the oven all day.

Thanksgiving is truly a holiday made for FLATS… or so you think!

The following Concept Meal will keep you looking fabulous and far from looking like a turkey.

THE SHOES: Get into the spirit with these unnnnreal plaid mary janes from Harajuku Lovers http://www.zappos.com/harajuku-lovers-airlie-black-combo?zlfid=111

THE FOOD: If you want to cut to the chase, buy some turkey cutlets instead of a whole bird and prepare it like I did in this Chicken Dish but add some fresh Thyme and Rosemary to the meat, with a splash of Orange juice!

CONCEPT MEAL - 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION

THE SHOE

Now THIS is the heel you want to celebrate our independence in, isn't it? These Louboutins will look stunning with a little red dress.

Forget the Statue of Liberty. You'll be the Statue of Gorgeousness.

THE MEAL

This is what you should serve:

Start out with a salad-- make my Hickory BBQ Potato Chip Crusted Chicken and chop it up, toss with some lettuce, tomato, corn, black beans and use BBQ sauce as the dressing!

For the main course, nothing says America like a burger. Make my BBQ Turkey Burgers with some fresh whole wheat burger buns and a side of freezer sweet potato fries you can easily pop in the oven.

Instead of Beer... why not serve some Beer Margaritas?

THE TABLE

Family style is always the way to go for a dinner like this. Set your table with a gorgeous huge salad bowl for the Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Salad and a large platter for your Turkey Burgers.

I always love the idea of a "Burger Bar."

All you need to do is set aside an area (or the center of your table) with all possible toppings in little ramekins. Think: Ketchup, mustard, mayo, tomato, onion, sliced pickles, grilled onions, BBQ sauce. This allows your guests to really customize their burger and truly make it their own.


THE MUSIC

Serve this posh Patriotic meal with the sounds of Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar Mellencamp.


HAVE A WONDERFUL FOURTH OF JULY HOLIDAY WEEKEND!
