the feast

we had a very enjoyable thanksgiving day with family, and were glad to be able to host again.  this year i got smart and prepped most of the thanksgiving meal before hand.

the day's menu...

appetizer and pre-meal snack:

artichoke dip (thanks to corrie)

pumpkin chocolate chip bread

main course:

oven roasted turkey (of course!)

apple-cranberry sausage stuffing

creamy sweet potatoes with candied pecans and brown sugar

garlic mashed potatoes

grilled asparagus tossed in olive oil and our magic salt

homemade cranberry sauce

homemade dinner rolls

dessert (thanks to gram):

apple pie

pecan pie

pumpkin cake

filled with a thankful heart, a full tummy and a house full of family, i managed to take many photos of the glorious food but successfully neglected to take pictures of the wonderful people.

sometimes enjoying the moment means forgetting about the camera.
