An Unforgettable Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)
We all know Thanksgiving Day is always the busiest day of November. It's when you're preparing for the biggest feast of the year. This may include running everywhere around the kitchen, rushing to Honey Baked Ham Co. for that last minute ham, watching mom make mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing... Helping grandma with the pumpkin pie, everyone is helping to set the table...you're inhaling all the scrumptious smells that are trailing around in the kitchen and around the house...
But in the end, it's all totally worth it.
As we all gather around the dinner table with mouths watering, staring down at the delicious meal you've been prepping for all day, you're dying to dig your fork into that steaming turkey that has gravy oozing down on the side. Mmmmm...so whether you're spending Thanksgiving at home or out of town with family, make the most out of it. Enjoy it with the people you love most in this world.
And then end your meal with these delicious desserts that you'll crave more than anything :)

To me, serving a sumptuous Thanksgiving feast can be an exciting prospect. All it takes is a little planning and recipes that are delicious and simple to prepare. Thanksgiving classics--turkey roasted with butter and white wine, glazed ham, and cornbread stuffing--are served on a table decked with simple holiday touches. Side dishes, inspired by the Southern setting include: a savory cheese grits pudding, a quick-to-prepare version of hopping John (a stew of collard greens and black-eyed peas), and honey-glazed yams. Pumpkin cream pie ends the holiday meal. As always. What's Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie?

Sweet ending :)

And of course, as always it's important to give thanks on this wonderful holiday.

Other than that? Enjoy.

I'll be in D.C. for the next few days so updating will be a little hard, but be prepared for more blog updates when I return ;)
