a denver thanksgiving

this past sunday we did our 2nd annual denver thanksgiving! it was a blast and i really wish we would have taken more photos of the food and everyone that came, but alas - we were too busy socializing + cooking.

menu including:

• turkey (a big 14.3 lb gal who is still sitting in our refrigerator! leftover ideas anybody?)
• cornbread + sausage stuffing (via martha stewart - amazing!!)
• green bean casserole (the traditional and the best - made by my aunt b)
• corn casserole (another standard in our household - made by the lees)
• butternut squash (my first time to make this. it was good, but i think i'll try something new next year)
• traditional mashed potatoes + gravy (yummmmmy)
• cranberries
• pumpkin pie (traditional recipe we've made for years)
• pecan pie (via martha again!)
• pumpkin cheesecake with brown buttered pears (my first cheesecake to make and boy was it delicious via food and wine)

just a side note in case anybody was wondering - this was all HOMEMADE!! yeah to me + momma t!

here are some photos though in case you wanted to see something from the evening.

the dogs really really really wanted all the food! they might have gotten some turkey :)

fin was worn out!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
