Thanksgiving 2009

 I made these dishes the day before and shared them with family on Thanksgiving, while they provided the regular Thanksgiving Menu. I ate only my dished but added a little bit of the turkey.
I started with a big plate of salad and then a plate of the other dishes I made. It was delicious and lots of people gave great complements on the food. I made little tags with the name of the dish and the ingredients and I also mentioned if it was salt, sugar, daily and oil free.
