The Feast

Oh, Thanksgiving was wonderful. We stayed in our home in Omaha. What a blessing to have wonderful friends to spend the holiday with! We had quite the spread, all the traditional elements plus some.

The Menu
turkey
mashed potatoes
gravy
rolls
stuffing
cranberry relish
homemade mac n' cheese
green salad
yams
sweet potatoes
corn
layered jello

Pies
chocolate cream
apple
pumpkin
Nantucket
pumpkin

topped with homemade vanilla ice cream

Delish! A few things to remember
  • Let the turkey rest a little longer before carving to avoiding scorching Zach's hands
  • Don't forget any dishes that were prepared the day before (cranberry relish)
  • Don't accidentally put double the gelatin in only two of the layers of jello
  • Serve the pecan pie cold (helps cut the sweetness)
We finished the night off playing a couple games of Apples to Apples.
