THANKSGIVING IN A NUTSHELL

Happy Thanksgiving! All I can say is that I am absolutely stuffed but am somewhat looking forward to all the leftover goodies that currently reside in our fridge. Here are some quick stats:

• One 18 pound bird
• Five side dishes
• Five pies (three pumpkin, one apple, one rhubarb-cherry) + pecan bars
• Nine hungry stomachs
• Five dogs
• Four homemade garlands
• A whole lot of butter

I'm not totally positive on how we acquired six desserts, but regardless, we are left with three now - we sent the rest home with grandpa. Let me tell you, this was the Thanksgiving to be at this year...not that anyone else was invited, but it was HAPPENING.  I would rate this one a 10/10. Anyway, I whipped out my camera and snapped some beauteous photos of our Thanksgiving lineup, which I have graciously provided for you here. 

I must say, I was pretty proud of my contributions to this day of glory and food. This week, I made a magnolia leaf garland for one of the windows (using leaves from a tree that we don't actually have in our yard), three pumpkin pie garlands (they were super easy), homemade dairy-free dinner rolls (nom) and the most beautiful apple pie the world has ever seen. Most of these can be seen below in the gallery, but I will be posting a few recipes from this soon. It will all be worth your while! So just keep on scoping Tiny Crumbs for some new updates, recipes and food blog excitement.

For now, enjoy the photos of my mother's cumulonimbus cloud of mashed potatoes and the rest of our Thanksgiving feast. Shout out to the fam for making this day so wonderful #thankful.
