A great Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving.  Nearly all of the food was gluten-free, vegetarian and made from scratch.  We made (from scratch):

• sweet potato casserole just like my grandma used to make, only she used canned yams (vegetarian) - great job on this one Mom!
• two dressings - one gluten-free(not VG) and one vegetarian(not GF) - again... great job Mom!
• a really good turkey
• mashed potatoes (VG)
• sweet potato pie (GF) - Christian made this one and it rocked!
• pumpkin cheesecake (GF) -
• gravy (VG) - there was no turkey gravy but we were ok!
• homemade pumpkin pie (not GF) - it looked good Mom!
• steamed veggies

The only items we ate that were processed and storebought were the cranberry jelly (canned), cranberry sauce (store deli item) and the rolls.  The canned cranberry jelly is GF, so I ate that! 

We served up buffet style, which worked out great so the table wasn't full of food and we could all enjoy our meals and talking to each other.  I was able to use leftover decorations from the wedding (yeah!) to decorate the tables and part of house, and I loved the festive Fall feel.  Between Mom, myself and Christian we had dinner and dessert covered and we even had a little nibble table with cheese, crackers, raw veggies and some sweet stuff.  I tell ya, Jack and everyone really like Mom's cereal mix. 

We had ten people: my dad, Sharlene, Jack, Steven, Sharon, myself, Donald, Mom, Eric & Christian.  Abby tried get a little food and when Eric showed up Muffin thought she'd be counted, too, but no doggies at the table! :)
