For the first time in two years due to health problems my dad was home so we let him pick the menu. My brother, my wife and myself took the reins and left my mom to do the pies. It wasn't your traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but we were all thankful to have him home.
Started off with a romaine and micro green salad tossed with mandarine oranges, strawberries, toasted almond slivers and a spicy vinaigrette. Main course was beef tenderloin with a portobello mushroom gravy, parmesan potatoes, sweet corn casserole, grilled asparagus and garlic bread.
Mom made apple, pecan and pumpkin pies to finish it all off. I smoked a turkey breast on Wednesday for sandwiches later in the day, but it all ended up going home as leftovers. All in all a great day!
