Hey everyone at What’s Cooking with Ruthie. It’s Amanda from High Heels to Hot Wheels.

I hope everyone is hard at work on their Thanksgiving menus! I know I am. I have so many pages turned in my Southern Living Magazine and have had countless conversations with my dad on our Thanksgiving round-up. I tried to explain to my 4-year old today why we eat turkey every year for Thanksgiving and I’m not sure he fully grasps the concept, but when I told him people like to sometimes say “Happy Turkey Day”, he seemed a little more on board.

With all the being said, you are probably expecting some sort of family favorite Thanksgiving dish and are quite confused by the Homemade Cocktail Sauce, but let me try to quickly explain. While it is the season of sage and stuffing, it is also the perfect time of year to eat tasty, salty New England oysters. My husband is a”shucker”, I mean sucker for a raw oyster, so when he picked up a dozen Bluepoint Oysters at Whole Foods last weekend, I decided to make him homemade cocktail sauce. It was always a specialty with my dad, so I wanted to do the same for him. I think after a pile of empty shells later, he was pleased. This cocktail sauce can be made any time of year for any number of creatures from the sea.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I can’t wait to come back next month and I promise to bring something a little more holiday appropriate, but I hope you all can use this recipe for all your delicious New England oysters!

XO!

Amanda
