Jackson was disappointed that we didn't have turkey. But both kids LOVED the ham. I don't think he was too disappointed once he tasted the ham. Forgot the stuffing - add next time??
Scott and the kids made a centerpiece turkey. Squash for the body. Bosch pear for the face. Cheese and grapes on skewers for the tail feathers. Red and yellow bell peppers for feet and side feathers. Raisins for the eyes. We also made place mats and laminated them.
Snack:
Chex Mix - didn't have wheat chex so I used Fiber One cereal. Taste great!
Hard Boiled Eggs (Sneaky Chef)
Lunch:
Crab salad - Broulims Deli
Relish Plate (mushrooms, cucumbers, celery, carrots, broccoli, radishes, pickles and olives)
Cranberry Bread w/cream cheese (Lemon Cookbook pg. 34) - like Bandon Boatworks recipe better. We did really like this the next day. So next time make a day early.
Dinner:
Ham - Jill's Every Other Sunday Ham (McCleve 2nd Cookbook)
Rolls - Rhodes frozen rolls
Green beans with carmalized onions and tarragon (we like perfectly lemon green beans better - LDS Living pages)
Mashed Potatoes - cooked in chicken stock (made early in the morning and put in crockpot)
Turkey Gravy - from a packet
Sweet Potato Dish (Pioneer Woman) - made on Tuesday
Walnut Fruit Salad (2009 Quick Taste of Home pg. 170)
Drink - Martinelles
Dessert: (made these on either Tues or Wed)
Chocolate Silk Pie (2009 Quick Taste of Home)
Pumpkin Cookies with Maple Frosting (only made 1/2) - were pretty good. Next time I think it would be better with a pumpkin dessert or just normal pumpkin cookies
Pecan Chocolate Bars (froze 1/2)
maple-brown-butter semifreddo (Martha Stewart) - we didn't even pull it out. Will eat later. Made on Monday
2012
I had already bought everything and then the Stowell's (Dave & Lucy) called and invited us. I made pretzel salad (Lisa's recipe), rolls (Diana Walker), pumpkin/pecan pie (Martha Stewart) and cranberry bars.
Then on Saturday we cooked the ham and:
canned green beans
rolls (Martha Stewart)
mashed potatoes
sweet potato dish (had made earlier in the week -Martha Stewart with coconut, lime and coconut milk)
fruit salad (Taylor pg. 33)
chocolate silk pie
Appetizer:
crab dip
crackers
celery/carrots with sour cream dip
2013
would be fun to have snack mix - Harvest Blessing - see Snack Mix 2
