Thanksgiving 2011

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone. I have so much for which I am grateful and I need to remember that this advent season.
We had a great Thanksgiving. My daughter and son-in-law hosted our Thanksgiving meal and they did an outstanding job. It was their first time to cook a turkey and that can be intimidating. Everything was delicious and I must say I was impressed. I wanted to share a few pictures from our day.

 A few weeks back my daughter wrote about their new table on their blog. It was a perfect size and was covered with wonderful dishes.
 Susan made shrimp and grits dressing from Southern Living. This recipe is definitely a keeper. I will add this to my collection along with the following dishes.
 This is fried confetti corn from Southern Living. She used fresh corn kernels along with fresh bell pepper and onion. You can find the recipe in November's issue. I think it was my favorite.
 This sweet potato and carrot casserole also came from Southern Living. Once again she used fresh ingredients and it was delicious.
 The turkey was moist and seasoned well. They did a wonderful job on their first turkey.
Best of all was spending time with our family and especially sweet Stuart.
Now looking forward to Christmas.
