I will be making our own family "Thanksgiving meal" at home this weekend, since I didn't take my favorite family dishes. The holidays are kinda my In-laws thing. So different from my childhood where all family members contributed dishes for the meal. But, I did get to make a little spread for the kiddos...
I made a great low-pro bread recipe from Cook For Love's site, which I used for both their bread and bread stuffing. I also made the orange cranberry sauce again... a recipe I will share soon, and have fallen in love with. Then they had mashed potatoes and fruit salad. I also attempted a faux dream pie for them, and that recipe will still need some tweaking. I thought all the low-pro options were yummy...
...but the kiddos were more interested in hamming it up!
They stayed true to the picky toddler reputation. I was proud of their spread and hope to get a few more recipes under my belt before Christmas.
So, how was the holiday at your house?
Wow! Sounds like a really great day! My MIL came to my house and cooked here since she lives 3 hours away and we all are up here. So it was DH, MIL, SIL and her daughter with our 2 sons. My daughter spent this year at her Dad's (she goes every other year there for Thanksgiving) and we all had a lot of food and fun visiting!
