my mom dominated in the kitchen this year....she had half the meal already prepared the night before! everything was so good, that it couldn't go un-blogged about:)
 |
| yep...isn't she cute? |
we had quite the feast and i made sure to get a picture of everything on the menu! check out the spread:
 |
| made by moi...pumpkin cream cheese pie, with cinnamon swirl crust |
 |
| orange bourbon pecan pie. SO. GOOD. |
 |
| the star of the show. smoked turkey! |
 |
| mom's homemade cornbread stuffing. a holiday first, but a must for next year! |
 |
| another creation of mine: twice baked sweet potatoes with chipotle, lime and sour cream |
 |
| green beans with mushrooms and crispy shallots. a healthier take on green bean casserole. |
 |
| and a few more staples from the day. |
my pants feel tighter just thinking about how full i felt. amazingly full:) we spent the afternoon lazing around, dipping into the pies and watching football.
wouldn't you agree that four day weekends should happen much more often? i do. especially since it gave us the chance to get our christmas tree up and decorated. yippee! more on that later this week:)
i hope everyone had a lovely thanksgiving. now it's back to monday!
xoxo,
maggie
