Vic and I spent Thanksgiving with our son Scott and daughter-in-law Nicole and their three preschoolers. Nicole’s Mom was there as well, so we had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday.
Scott and Nicole made some awesome appetizers.
Proscuitto-wrapped, roasted asparagus was my favorite.
Our family tradition is to serve the turkey pre-carved and garnished with herbs. We don't carve it at the table.
The only things from my garden this year were the bell peppers in the salad, and the apple pie for dessert.See a previous post for the recipe for the cranberry applesauce.
We also had a cornbread and sausage stuffing, green beans with shallots, maple-glazed carrots, rolls, and cranberry sauce in addition to my cranberry applesauce.
Nicole made a fabulous bourbon-caramel sauce and vanilla whipped cream to go with the homemade apple and pumpkin pies.
The next photo would have shown us all sleeping, if there had been anyone awake to snap the pic. What a fabulous meal. What a great family.
