Thanksgiving



Thanksgiving was a great success this year!  Normally I make way too much food and then end up with leftovers.  Now, I don't mind a certain amount of leftovers, but if it is more food than can be eaten in a week, it is too much!
Appetizers:





chicken fajita wraps
chips and salsa con queso
turkey tortilla spirals with cranberry dipping sauce
deviled eggs

Main course:



oven roasted brisket
smoked turkey
smoked cornish game hens
mashed potatoes
sweet potato casserole
2 types of stuffing
orange fluff
green bean casserole
dinner rolls
2 types of gravy

Dessert:


pecan pie
apple pie
lemonade pie
pumpkin pie
cherry cream cheese pie (the cherries haven't been put on yet in the picture)





On Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I took my Monster to get her first hair cut.  I had my camera so I could document the momentous occasion and later that afternoon, I happened to be driving down a residential street and I thought it was so pretty, I had to stop and take a picture.  A dream of mine is to one day experience a New England fall.  I hear the colors of the leaves changing there are just unrivaled.  Until then though, I will have to settle for pretty streets like this with all the leaves changing.

So what did you do for Thanksgiving?  Any great dishes to share?  Leave a comment and let me know!
