We had a great Thanksgiving and really enjoyed cooking together. But I think we pretty much used every kitchen item we own. I was thankful for our dishwasher :-)
We made some of the old standbys, but also branched out and tried some new dishes too. It was all so, so delicious. We had turkey (of course), gravy (we finally got to use our gravy boat!), sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and cranberry sauce. The new recipes we tried were browned butter mashed potatoes (fantastic), brandied carrots and parsnips (delicious), and apple bacon stuffing (a-mazing).
