    Hi Jen! That was a feast! Re: Cranberry Sauce, My dear Mom and I used to make cranberry relish and it made A LOT. We gave away lots before Thanksgiving. No cooking except for some jell-o which wasn't visible. It just helped in the gelling process and sweetness. Raw cranberries. We used a meat grinder for all the ingredients. It took a couple hours to make but it was amazing!! Anyhooo long story, short I loved it after Thanksgiving on vanilla icecream and on toast for breakfast in the a.m. I thought yours looked so good like it would be yummy that way too for the leftovers. You're welcome! 😁 All of your dishes looked wonderful and I'm putting your recipes in my go-to recipe binder! Thanks so much for sharing! Hugs and blessings!

    Love this video! Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday! Many years ago I used to host but family moved away, passed away so we started going to our friends home then they moved away and we joined other friends, now we go to my cousin’s home. However, I have always made a full blown Thanksgiving dinner for the two of us, not scaled down either. My husband prefers my cooking and I love cooking for him. Looks like you had a great celebration!
    Love the gravy boat story. For Holiday meals I always use my mom’s china-it is 80 years old and I love it.

    I used to serve canned cranberry sauce, but made the Spice Islands cranberry Apple chutney recipe about 10 years ago - it is SO good! I have made it every year since. I altered it to make in my electric pressure cooker, and it’s better the longer it sits, so it’s a make ahead part, too. Highly recommend if you like things with a bit of vinegar and sweet and savory! TFS.

    At 5:15 you were cleaning up and we had just started eating! I had to work until 3. I was impressed that I got everything on the table by 5:15. I had prepped a lot the day before so all I had to do that day was make the Turkey breast and wings and heat the rolls.
    I also got some of the MSE stuff- I got a set of stainless steel cookware. I use it once in awhile. Very good quality cookware. 18/10 stainless steel.
    My first thanksgiving dinner The cooked Turkey fell out of the oven in the tin roasting pan and went across the floor! I was thankful I washed that floor a few hours b4. I was sick that year and my mom said to serve it anyway. It was delicious!

    Great video, it's always so interesting to see what others have for their Thanksgiving meals.
    You can freeze your leftover hazelnuts (or any nut), just put them in an airtight container. My grandmother always used brand named butter for her baking, so we do the same. I do believe there is a difference in taste and the water content. Jmo Like you said, sometimes the name brand *is* best.

I make creamed onions, my moms dressing, bread of some kind, roasted chanterelle mushrooms, sugar free cranberry. Of course Turkey. This year was delicious. Happy thanksgiving, Jen, to you and your family.
