After 5 long years of thanking other people for feeding us on Thanksgiving Day, we decided it was our time to step back up to the plate (the last time we hosted was in 2005 while I was pregnant with Maeve). Our new kitchen was another great reason to host the event and really break it in! Our menu deviated a bit from what some might consider a truly traditional feast, but our guests were ever-gracious and ever-eager to sample whatever we threw at them and we feel like we did a pretty good job with things. We were happy to defer to Meg and Jonathan for the dessert portion and journeyed just a few miles up the road to satisfy our sweet tooth. Our 2010 Thanksgiving menu:
Spice-Rubbed Grilled Turkey Breast with Citrus Glaze
Stuffing with Hot & Sweet Peppers, Cranberries and Dried Figs
Butternut Squash
Roasted Potatoes, Brussel Sprouts and Fennel
Green Bean Casserole (gotta have it...)
Piping hot dinner rolls and Cranberry sauce
Because I bought twice as much turkey breast as I needed to, we'll look forward to reliving the experience some time later this winter! Here are only a few shots from our home the day of. Hey, when you're cooking away, who has time to take photos?
