Thanksgiving dinner for friends


I had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving with friends from Brugge, Belgium.   They joined our family and friends this year to celebrate what I think is the best celebration of America.  Other than July 4, I think Thanksgiving is such a special holiday because it is the one day of the year in which we all celebrate the same holiday.  I always think of Thanksgiving as a day to give thanks to this great country of ours.   I also like to celebrate my family and friends and it is even more special when you can share this holiday with friends from other countries.   It is also that time of the year  in which we give thanks for the memories and experiences we received during this 2010.
My traditional recipes for Thanksgiving always include a sweet potato casserole, individual stuffing muffins, cranberry relish, herb roasted turkey and gravy.  For dessert I like the seasonal flavors of pumpkin, pecans and cranberry.   I served individual pumpkin pies covered with roasted pecans and  cranberry shots.  The pumpkin pies were served with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream.  These are some ideas for your celebration next year.  You will find these recipes by viewing my blog.
