31 Days of Menus: Speaking of Thanksgiving

I came across this very interesting post at the Post Punk Kitchen.

Thanksgiving Dinner in an Hour. I’m not sure it’s about the Need to make it that quickly, maybe more that if you can and your family would be happy with it, then why not? I will say the Chickpea Cutlet recipe is delicious!

However, there is no dessert mentioned, so for a much quicker than pie option – try my apple crisp recipe.
Adding the apple crisp in will bump your time up a bit, but it’s worth it, right?
I would assemble it about the same time you’re getting the potatoes in to cook. Then, when you pull the broccoli out, lower the oven temperature and let the apple crisp cook while you eat your meal.

What’s not to love.

I use the instant black bean soup mix from the bulk bin at Good Earth, mix with just enough water to give it a refried bean consistency.
Toast the corn tortillas in a hot cast iron pan, or if you don’t have cast iron you may need oil, alternatively you could bake them to a crisp (here’s how).
Top with the beans, lettuce, onion, tomato, black olives, and salsa.
