I'm so proud of myself for our Thanksgiving dinner!! I made so many things that I hadn't made before (dinner rolls, roasted pork, a new recipe for sweet potato casserole)
We were all pretty hungry by the time dinner was ready. We had, from the left: home made rolls (I used this recipe--very low effort because you use the bread maker :), mashed potatoes (from a box), sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, roasted pork, and green beans.
I was very proud of the rolls--I've never made dinner rolls before. Even though most of the work was done by my bread maker, it was still something that I was very happy with.
The sweet potato casserole was also amazing. I used a recipe from the Columbia Stake RS cook book from over 10 years ago.
I was also very proud of the roast pork. I'm not really one for making large cuts of meat, so I was kind of nervous about making it. I shouldn't have been worried--it was very easy to stick it in the oven and let it cook for 3 hours :)
I was also pretty impressed with myself for making this beauty. No-bake chocolate mousse pie! And I whipped the cream by hand, because I haven't gotten around to getting a mixer yet...yeah, I should get on that. Here's a tip if you ever have to do that: chill the cream to make it VERY cold before whipping it; it'll make things go faster.
And now for the pièce de résistance! We set up the Christmas tree today, according to tradition. I am so happy for the Christmas season!
