The Menu

The Thanksgiving menu...it takes time, money, and effort. All that time cooking (which I love) and the work to prepare one giant beautiful meal for the family to enjoy. Ours was wonderful this year. Kiley helped me cook and we created a delicious meal for our family of five. This is what it consisted of:

The Bird (picture not the best, Toby decided to carve before pictures, huh??)














The Stuffing (Wild Mushroom and Brioche with Pernod):















The Pea Salad (Three Peas, Mint, and Leeks):















The Roasted Sweet Potatoes (Sweet Potatoes, Red Potatoes, olive oil, and rosemary):















The Mashed Potatoes and Gravy (need I say more):
















Our Famous Cranberry Jell-O Salad with cream cheese, pineapple, and jello (Kiley did this year, so good):















Some Sparkling Cider (kid friendly) with fresh mint leaves in it:





















And of course, rolls (not pictured but they were pretty), Blackberry, Apple, and Blueberry Cheesecake pies (which Braedon helped with~rolling the dough).
SO good!! I love Thanksgiving!!
