It was a day of birds ;)  We saw a variety of them today, a few different species of wild birds, woodpeckers, blue jays and TWO hummingbirds!  I haven't seen that many birds in our yard since September.  Did they sense I was cooking their cousin for dinner?

This is our Thanksgiving feast, most of it was prepared from scratch:

If it's in yellow, then it was homemade: brined Turkey, gravy, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, salad, roasted cauliflower, caramelized onions, corn, bread, veggies, dip, salami, cheese, jello, pumpkin pie, ice cream & whipping cream.

Will share recipes, just ask and I'll send it to you!  Everything was yummy - it's all about starting with a great recipe =)

Thanksgiving Blessings

I am hosting Thanksgiving, so I am in the process of designing some table decorations:

I made these on the computer and glued them onto flat glass marbles.  

Here's the center of the table:

I painted some tiny flower pots for pilgram hats too:

Underneath hides 3 Reeces Peanut Butter Cups:

These were the name settings.
