it would be a fair statement to say we made too much food for thanksgiving.

but, wow, it was delicious.  the turkey was somehow a success.  {terrifying, but a success.}  bobby flay's mac & cheese is a new thanksgiving staple.  greenbean casserole was everything i had hoped for.  the pecan pie was everything blakey had hoped for {& the GORGEOUS pie plate made it all the better}.  & the pumpkin cupcakes were a big win.  huge.

i shouldn't mention that we didn't get around to eating leftovers until sunday.  too many places to take the in-laws.  but sunday night leftovers were yummy too.

{appetizers: pumpkin dip with apples & homemade biscotti.  brie en croute.  sausage balls by ogden.}

{meal: turkey.  cranberry sauce.  homemade rolls.  greenbean casserole.  mac & cheese.  dressing by amy.  gravy by amy.  mashed potatoes.  potatoes gratin.  corn casserole.}

{dessert: pecan pie.  pumpkin pie by amy.  pumpkin cupcakes.}

this holiday is quickly becoming one of my favorites.  food, friends, family, fun.  all of my favorite things.

i truly hope yours was as wonderful.

love love,
