My Mom and I prepared a Vegetarian Thanksgiving at my home. My mom did the menu planning since originally we were going to have Thanksgiving at her home in Delmar, NY. There were 6 of us this year, Mom, Dad, Carol, me, an old friend and his 14 year old daughter. He helped me take some photos during the meal. It was wonderful since I always struggle to take decent photos and put a meal on the table. My parents made the beautiful turkey themed napkin / place card holders. I created the menu card at my Mom’s request. She wanted leaves and pumpkins on it.

• Whipped Goat Cheese Dip (we did not use the pancetta) with Vegetables
