thanksgiving 2010

Tarts-sage Zutano

I love the simplicity of Thanksgiving. Is there anything better than good food shared with family + friends? I went to my parent's home this year where they were hosting around 30 people.

My favorite details:

My mom's table settings with her mother's china, garden herbs as centerpieces, and homemade painter's canvas table runners (she made 12 for $25!). Great idea if you like linen but want something more affordable.

Baked mash potatoes.

Cranberry, lemon and basil butter. (similar recipe here).

Hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving/weekend.
