Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!  This year I got to make the entire Thanksgiving meal myself and I couldn’t have been happier! 

We’re not big into turkey in my family and it was only going to be four of us, so I made a roast chicken with extra dark meat.

The sides included baked sweet potatoes and apples, mashed potatoes with goat cheese and caramelized shallots…

…stuffing with Italian sausage and apples…

…and Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pomegranate and Hazelnuts!  I got most of the recipes out of the November issue of Food Network magazine.

And of course, what’s Thanksgiving without PIE?! 

Because we were such a small party, and I wanted everyone to have their favorite flavors…

…I made mini, muffin-tin pies in apple, cherry, blueberry, blackberry, and cherry.  With the help of some Pillsbury piecrusts, canned pie filling and Not Martha’s blog on mini pies, they came out wonderful!

Happy Holidays everyone!  The food has just begun!  :)
