Thanksgiving 2012

This year, Robert and I hosted his family for Thanksgiving lunch. It was my first time hosting a holiday meal and I think it went pretty well! I knew that I wanted to use our wedding china and some of our silver on the tables. I found some chargers at Target for 1.99 that I loved. I found six here and mom helped me find six more in North Alabama. Mom stumbled across some napkins in Home Beautiful that she thought would be perfect. Also from Target. I can't find either item on their website but I've seen both at Target in the last week so I know they're still in existence. I think the tables turned out nicely!

On the Menu:
Oyster Stew
Turkey on the Green Egg
Gravy
Cranberry Sauce
Oyster Dressing
Cornbread Dressing
Mashed Potatoes
Bourbon Sweet Potatoes
Green Beans with Mushrooms
Caramelized Brussels Sprouts
Walnut, Apple and Feta Salad
Yeast Rolls
Pumpkin Hazelnut Cheesecake
Chocolate Pecan Pie

I have to say that the food was absolutely delicious! Robert ate leftovers for five days straight. I'll share a few of the recipes over the next week. Hoping that you all had an equally amazing Thanksgiving!
