Thanksgiving!!!

GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE!


Thankgsiving, quite possibly one of my favorite Holidays every year. This year I hosted my very first Thanksgiving and had 10 guests, and it wasn't as hard as you would think. To the left is our Thanksgiving Day menu. In case you don't have super laser vision, the menu reads:

Appetizers

Warm mixed olives

Smokehouse Almonds

Stuffed Mushrooms

Harvest Crackers with Irish Cheddar and Spicy Pepperoni

First Course

Butternut Squash Soup with dollop of nutmeg whipped cream

Main Course

Rosemary and Sage Turkey

Sausage Cranberry Stuffing

Homemade Cranberry Sauce with Ginger

Orange Infused Green Beans

Sweet Potatoe Casserole with Marshmallows and Pecans

Garlic and Chive Creamy Smashed Potatoes

Buttermilk Biscuits

Bourbon Gravy

Dessert

Apple Crumble

Pumpkin Pie

Drinks

Spiced Sangria

Malbec

Pinot Noir

Coffee

I know it looks like a pretty extensive menu, but it was actually really easy to pull together. So many things could be prepped in advance so the day of all I really had to do was heat things up and set the table.

I will post the recipes for each menu item in a second entry, Thanksgiving II shortly.

In the meantime I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday Season.
