THANKSGIVING SUCCESS

I'VE BEEN SO BUSY THAT I JUST GOT AROUND TO POSTING MY THANKSGIVING RECIPES AND PICTURES. THIS YEARS THANKSGIVING WAS SUCH A SUCCESS! THE TURKEY CAME OUT GREAT AND ALL THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. NEXT YEAR I DO PLAN TO MINIMIZE THE MENU A BIT BECAUSE ALL THE ITEMS NEEDED TO BE BAKED AND IN 1 OVEN. THE BEST PART OF EVERY THANKSGIVING IS ALWAYS THE COMPANY AND SEEING EVERYONE ENJOY THE FOOD REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH WORK IT TOOK.

ALL THE ITEMS THAT I MADE:
TURKEY
STUFFING (WHICH I MAKE SEPARATE WITH GROUND BEEF NOT BREAD)
CORN
DINNER ROLLS
SALAD
BRUSCHETTA WITH HOMEMADE FRENCH BAGUETTE
MASHED POTATOES
BAKED POTATOES
GREEK STYLE MEATBALL BITES W/ HOME MADE TZAZIKI SAUCE
RED VELVET CAKE BALLS COVERED WITH CHOCOLATE & WHITE CHOCOLATE
RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE COFFEE CAKE

IT TOOK 2 DAYS BUT I WANT EVERYTHING TO BE HOME MADE AND PERFECT SO IT'S ALWAYS WORTH IT! 

YOU WILL FIND MOST OF THE RECIPES TO THE ITEMS ABOVE IN THE BLOG HERE
