Thanksgiving Dinner

A truly homemade Thanksgiving dinner: green bean casserole from scratch (no canned soup here!), my own recipe for apple & sausage stuffing, sweet potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes with mom's gravy, cranberry sauce (recipe from the trusted Spice Cookbook), and a beautiful free range local organic turkey cooked to perfection by Michael. So thankful for sharing it with my loved ones, and having fun: walks in the snow at night, many monopoly card games, and listening to Alice's Restaurant!
