My first Thanksgiving Dinner, November 2010. Tim and I had Thanksgiving at our home... our tiny home for both the Giesken and the Glon sides of our family. We took furniture down in the basement to make room for a long cafeteria tables in our living room made into a make shift dining room table. We had a wonderfully coordinated set dinner table with warm colors and maple leaf motif. I made practice turkeys and practice mash potatoes in large quantities. My husband was in mashed potatoe heaven. We had an appetizer table, a desert/pie table, and the main buffet area in the kitchen. Several of the dishes I made for this event for the first time, like Spinach Artichoke Dip with Panera's Asiago Cheese mini loaf have become family and friend favorites.
