This years Thanksgiving menu!

I'm really excited for Thanksgiving this year. Thanksgiving in the past has been kinda hectic as we've always tried to make sure we hit up all the family's homes. It usually turned into a full weekend of Thanksgiving. Don't get me wrong, that's great and all, but sometimes this girl can get a little tired of the same 'ol Thanksgiving traditional Turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry, and stuffing routine.
This year, oh yeah, I'm doing things a little different.

Here's my menu -

1. Glazed spiral sliced ham (for my husband, who loves ham but never gets it any other time of year).
2. Yukon Gold and Sweet Potato Gratin
3. My sisters brussel sprouts (I don't have a recipe, but these brussel sprouts rock).
4. Cheesy broccoli casserole with Ritz cracker topping
5. Mini homemade biscuits (recipe to come soon, I promise).
6. Classic stuffing with apples and cranberries

And for dessert, my favorite meal of the day....

1. Pumpkin Dulce De Leche cheesecake (yuummm, I can't wait for this one).
2. Homemade vanilla bean ice cream.

I'm only making ice cream because my husband and been hounding me to make him a plain vanilla ice cream for about 4 months now. I think I owe him. Plus, that way there will be an alternative in case someone might be a cheesecake hater out there, not sure how that's possible, but I've heard of that condition.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
