Happy Thanksgiving! We had 10 people at our table for Thanksgiving this year--and, of course, enough food for many, many more. I'm only just recovering from the food coma that was Thursday, though a long walk around the zoo today helped. We cover the traditionals at our holiday meal--there are no theme Thanksgivings around here--and it was all very, very good. We had turkey with gravy, apple-pecan stuffing, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, asparagus, cranberry-0range sauce, and more. Not surprisingly, dessert was my focus, and with four (yes, 4) options, I think we covered all the bases. The above picture is of a
caramel-apple cheesecake tart, a great recipe I found at Annie's Eats, that essentially combined pecan pie, apple pie, and a cheesecake all in one.
The sides: mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy
The big three: turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing
Broad beans, olives, asparagus with a lemon vinaigrette, cranberry sauce, gravy
Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and pecans
Homemade toasted coconut-macaroon ice cream with dark chocolate chunks, made with the effort and inspiration of SwimmerGirl
The final round-up: (from the top) carrot cake, caramel-apple cheesecake tart, and pumpkin chiffon pie
