I\u2019ve been meaning to get to this all week but my day job has been hectic.\u00a0 Here is a round-up of our Thanksgiving for 2010.\u00a0 For Thanksgiving we went to my in-laws, turkey and ham where on the menu.\u00a0 We took it upon ourselves to make a completely from scratch pumpkin pie (the Mrs.), from scratch green bean casserole (me), cream corn (me), and from scratch cranberry sauce (me).\u00a0 With all the food to be made our Wednesday and Thursday were pretty busy, especially with us also getting ready to host our After Thanksgiving Thanksgiving on Saturday with some foodie friends.\u00a0 But first here is a rundown as to the recipes we prepared and some preparation pictures.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Pie, care of Alton Brown<\/a>, complete with gingersnap pie crust.<\/p>\n

Green Bean Casserole<\/a>, care of Martha Stewart, complete with fresh green beans, mushrooms, and red bell peppers.\u00a0 I highly suggest cooking this in the oven for about 30-40 minutes at 300-350 to get the green beans to break down a bit, but that\u2019s just a personal preference.<\/p>\n

Cream Corn<\/a>, care of my Aunt Jeri, extra simple recipe yet it\u2019s always a hit.<\/p>\n

Cranberry Sauce, this is a take on two separate recipes that I have merged to make the ultimate sauce.<\/p>\n

* 24 oz (2 bags) fresh cranberries
\n* 1 1\/2 cups sugar
\n* cinnamon stick
\n* 1\/4 teaspoon kosher salt
\n* zest from 3 oranges
\n* 3\/4 mix of orange juice (use the juice from the oranges you got the zest from) and orange liqueur<\/p>\n

Boil at med\/high once they pop smash on side and cook till jam consistency.\u00a0 This makes a lot of sauce, but it’s so good you’ll like having the extra!<\/p>\n
