Thankful for Turkey

It's Almost time! I will be spending Thanksgiving with Alex's family in Baltimore.

Alex will be in charge of the turkey again this year! Last year was his first time and he did an amazing job!

I will be baking (I believe the recipe is Uncle Rob's? or Margarets..or some family members) double stuffed Apple Pie! Thanks to Grandma and Mom I will have my own apple pie dish and fall cut-outs to use this year.
I made it last year and it was fantastic! I used a little more butter than what they recipe called for and a little more cinnamon...and added a few granny smith apples to sweeten it up.

Pie from last year

And I will be making..ok! ok!  I will be bringing Pumpkin Soup scented with Mulling Spices garnished with cinnamon; Shredded Brussels Sprouts tossed with toasted Pine Nuts, crisp Pancetta Lardons and shredded Carrots dressed with warm Bacon-White Balsamic Vinaigrette; and a delicious Corn Souffle. I decided to order from Occasions Caterers...why should I have to spend the day cooking in the kitchen when I can just order it ;) And it helps with oven take-over.

What's everyone else making (or ordering) for Thanksgiving this year?? xoxo
