Last Thanksgiving was wonderful (except for my ever present sinus infections) because almost all my plans came to fruition. I was very happy with the state of my cooking and deco. So happy, in fact, I neglected to take many pictures of the food.  It wasn’t until I was stuffed and watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation that I realized my photos were poo.

I won’t make that mistake this year but I will be making beaucoup plans again. Since so many things worked out last year the menu will be very similar with some additions!

Enjoy last years warmth and fun through these pictures! I can’t wait to show off the full spread this year as well!

I used real, beautiful, giant leaves I can find in my neighborhood was decorations.

Paper white flowers

Galettes are the way to go. Walnut and Apple.

The full spread. 1. Roasted Chicken 2. Spanish Tortilla 3. Pull Apart Rolls 4. Glazed Carrots 5. Garlic Mashed Potatoes 6. Sweet Potato Mess
