I wouldn't want to lose my title as the worst.blogger.ever... so I just haddd to wait till Dec 15 to put up a post about the Thanksgiving holiday. Naturally.
The hubs and I were so lucky and blessed to have my entire family come from OH to NC. Mom, Dad, and both of my younger brothers! The trip was short but sweet and full of great memories.
This was the first time hubs and I had cooked Thanksgiving and lets just say, its a lot of work. I guess I knew that... but at the end of the day, I had never been so happy to put my feet up with a glass of wine!
Our Menu:
Deviled Eggs (BH&G cookbook - just the classic)
Julia Child's French Onion Soup
Ultimate Stuffed Potatoes (Southern Living Cookbook)Bourbon-Cranberry Compote
Carmelized Onion and Herb Stuffing
Classic Campbells Green Bean Casserole (at the request of the hubs)
Cresent Rolls - out of a tube, I'm ashamed :(
Molasses Brined Turkey with Gingersnap Gravy
and for dessert... my hubs' famous spiced pumpkin cheesecake :)
Here are some pictures from the day...
