Veterans Day celebrates the men and women who enlisted to protect our country. There are many different traditions surrounding menus for Veterans Day. Below you'll find a few ideas to get your celebration underway:
Crab puffs, dip, chicken for a main dish, barbequed meals, and sandwiches are apart of a typical menu throughout the day. Simple, delicious food that is reasonably easy to prepare is definitely the order of the day.
For crab puffs you will need 1 quart of oil, 1 pound of crab meat, 1 package of cream cheese, 2 teaspoons of garlic salt, and 2 16 ounces packages of won ton wrappers. Heat the oil for frying, then in a bowl mix the crabmeat, cream cheese, and garlic salt together. Place the mixture in the wonton wrappers being careful not to over fill them. Then fry them for 2 to 3 minutes.
A dessert recipe you can prepare the night before (and save time) is a simple trifle. Purchase a plain sponge cake, two flavors of Jell-o crystals, tinned fruit of your choice, custard and cream from the grocery store. Prior to making the trifle, prepare the Jell-o, cut the sponge cake into small squares and whip the cream. Place the cake in the bottom of a serving bowl, topped by the fruit, custard, Jell-o (cut into pieces and mixed together) and finally the whipped cream.
Our veterans have served their life in protecting our country and people. Veterans Day allows us to honor everyone who has served and provide wonderful dishes for friends and family to celebrate those that are enlisted today. However you end up celebrating, it's important to keep the significance of the day in mind and reflect about the things that really matter in life.
