Thanksgiving Menu

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family, friends, and lots of great food.  Even after eating sandwiches for five days, I still have half a ham in my fridge.  Anyone have some ham recipes to share??

I hosted my family at our house, a small 7 people; and then later in the evening we went to C's family's Thanksgiving, which is about 60 people.

Here's what was on our menu this year:

This was a ton of food for 6 people, but it was all sooo good!

Super Bowl Party

We decided to stay in to watch the Super Bowl this year, so of course we had to have some yummy food!  My parents came over to watch it with us, and they never miss a party where there's good food.  I wanted to do a Cajun theme because we were rooting for the Saints...and we just really like cajun food.  I like to think that my red beans and rice sent them good vibes to help them win.  Former Mizzou QB Chase Daniel is now a player for the Saints, so that was one more reason for rooting for them!  And we always have chili-cheese dip at Mizzou Tailgates, so it was also appropriate for this game.
