Thanksgiving 2011!
Posted by Kristen on Nov 27, 2011 in Family Fun, Holiday, Parties and Entertaining, Seasonal, Switzerland | 1 commentHappy Belated Thanksgiving to all of you! We hope that you all found yourselves with family and friends, with plenty to eat and much to be thankful for! We truly are so blessed. There is a lot more I could write on the topic of being blessed but for now I will leave you with some pictures.
For Thanksgiving we had 2 couples over, both American girls married to Swiss men. We were excited to introduce them because we knew they both might enjoy having friends in their same boat. As I mentioned in the last post, my cousin Nathan was also able to join us, along with Nana! So it was a full table! We had puh-lenty of food! (we had so much food that last night we had friends over for a leftovers dinner! and then sent leftovers home with them )
Menu
Appetizers
Stuffed Mushrooms
Brie Baked in puff pastry with raspeberry chipotle sauce
Prosecco with cranberry syrup
Apple punch
Dinner
Turkey
Cornbread stuffing
Green beans with shallots
Sweet Potato Casserole
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Cranberry sauce
Last but certainly not least…my mom’s Parker House rolls
Dessert
Apple Crumble Pie
Pumpkin Pie
Luckily our friends brought the mashed potatoes and the pies so I didn’t cook all of it!
PS- I find that when I am hosting a dinner or party I am terrible at taking pictures! Which I think means I am super busy enjoying it and that’s better than being distracted by the camera!
What a feast!! It looks beautiful! I need someone in your family to come and carve my turkeys. It tasted great but it doesn’t win on presentation.
