This year for Thanksgiving we decided to keep it simple and low key. Our dinner consisted of Ann and I and our three children. We stuck to the basics with small twists and had a somewhat simple holiday meal. We had a simple Roast Turkey,three mushroom & wild rice stuffing,balsamic potato salad, fresh cranberry and orange sauce, canned cranberry sauce, turkey "extras" gravy and finally green beans with almonds. The only thing I really went out on a limb was with the Pumpkin "pie" dish.
I made a pumpkin pie marshmallow using THIS recipe and paired it with graham cracker crumbs sauteed in butter and sugar with a whipped cream sauce. I tried toasting/melting the marshmallows but it looked more like a creme brulee topping. All in all, it was a good meal and even though we did not have a lot of family present we had the ones that mattered most.
Beautiful pictures, as always.
