Here are a few of things I ate this Thanksgiving, apparently I completely forgot to snap a photo or two of the apple pie and pecan pie.

Cream of Mushroom

The creamiest, richest and divinely delicious soup.

Shrimp Cocktail

Shredded cabbage with a fresh cocktail sauce and slice of lemon.

Turkey

A perfect golden when cooked on the barbecue and it frees up the oven.

Brussels Sprouts

With bacon an essential!

Smashed Potato

Fluffy and delicious! This year we took the cooked the potatoes and threw them in the oven for a short period to get some of the water out of them!

Sliced Sweet Potatoes with Maple Syrup and Pecans

I am not a huge fan of covering sweet potatoes in marshmallows, so we tried something a little different with sweetness from maple syrup and crunchy pecans.

Gravy can't skip it

This gravy had a bunch of turkey drippings and we used potato starch to thicken rather than the traditional the corn starch and water method.
