Thanksgiving Meal

Wow, I haven't blogged in ONE WHOLE MONTH? We have had a lot of things going on in our lives, both joyous and sorrowful. However, I wanted to get back into blogging so I thought I'd share a quick, fun blog about our Thanksgiving meal.

It's just the two of us this year. That's right, just David and I. Why, you might ask? Well our immediate family lives in: Utah, Colorado, New York, Arkansas, Oregon, Boston and California. Whew. Did you notice I did NOT say Texas??

Because of this geographical separation and the sky high flight prices during Thanksgiving, we decided to stay home.

I've REALLY been struggling with what we should eat for Thanksgiving since it's just the two of us. Traditionally in my family all the recipes feed 6-8 or more! So, it's hard to figure out what we should do for just two.

Here's our menu.

Starter: Butternut Squash Soup



Main Course: Roasted Brussels Sprouts



Pumpkin Risotto topped with Goat Cheese and Bacon by Giada DeLaurintiis



Two fillets from a local butcher, grilled.

David's favorite desert: pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream



yummy! Can't wait to get cooking!
