I love Thanksgiving! Except... not really into traditional Thanksgiving food. No one in my family is into Turkey. I just like the general concept of friends/family coming together and being reminded of all the things you should be thankful for.

I'm cooking dinner for my family and this is the menu:

Starters:
Artisan bread + garlic olive oil
Whole leaf Caesar salad

Main:
Whole roasted filet mignon (aka Chateaubriand)
Marinated prawns

Sides:
Creamy herbed potatoes
Roasted new potatoes
Sweet corn
Garlic green beans
Grilled onions, red bell peppers, mushrooms.

Desert:
Apple dumpling crisp
Beignets

I'm also making a mini-thanksgiving dinner for a few close friends. Menu for that dinner:

Loaded mashed potatoes
Green salad
Rice pilaf
Strawberries + homemade whip cream

So excited! Going out today to buy some decorations.
