A Pause in Recaps

As much as I hate to keep adding in little recaps of the wedding this weekend I must! The main reason being is that I do not want to start the ceremony recap until I have the professional photos for all to enjoy and second because its THANKSGIVING! This will be the 3rd full Thanksgiving dinner I will be cooking for Rene and myself. And while it is never fun to be away from family for the holidays I would like to think that I do a pretty good job of the Thanksgiving "feast" with the little apartment kitchen.

The past 2 years we have done very traditional menus, classic turkey, my grandma's stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes from scratch, biscuts--you know the basics.

This year however I have decided to spice things up a bit. With of course the help of Food Network.

This year's menu includes:

Appetizer: Antipasto Sausage Skewers

Appetizer: Cheesy-onion tarts

Main Dish: Classic Turkey

Side Dish: Grandma's stuffing (a staple when I cook Thanksgiving!)

Side Dish: Cranberry, Cherry and Walnut Marmalade

Side Dish: Baked Sweet Potatoes with pecan and marshmallow streusel

Side Dish: Multicolored Cauliflower

Desert: Carmel Apple pie

Alot of food I know but YUM! I have alot of work to get started on tonight for sure and a full day of cooking tomorrow! Such a great way to break in the new dishes and wedding gifts!

Happy Thanksgiving!
