I have had a few emails asking me what I'm serving for Thanksgiving dinner?
Here is a sneak peak into my turkey day holiday menu, and some nice photos I took of leaves on my lawn this rainy weekend and some cool pumpkins!.
I like tradition and basically serve the same menu every year.
It's not because I am boring, because I am NOT.
It's just why mess with a good thing?
Everyone loves my stuffing, my dad loves the sweet potato dish that I make and my turkey breasts are a home run.
So, I am keeping it plain and simple this year, No marshmallows on yams.
Maybe I will mix it up a bit and change the hors d'oevres! oooooh, so daring!

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday.
I love the season and the foods that go with it.
It is a time to give thanks for all the good things in our lives: family, friends, health, love and FOOD!

I'd love to see your recipe for the spinach pie. This sounds like a grand old feast.
I change up my sides but I never change the core turkey and stuffing recipe. The one year I did, I definitely regretted it. Time enough for experimentation elsewhere!
I just checked out a Tom Colicchio cookbook from the library and I love it.
I've tagged you for a meme.
Your menu sounds great and it's great that you know what works for you.
