Elegant and Simple Thanksgiving Menu

I think Thanksgiving is one of the few times in life when boring and traditional is exactly what you want. Nobody wants an avante garde Thanksgiving Menu. We do a very simple but elegant dinner and then have pie at my mother's home. Our menu is small but tasty, everything is made from scratch and relatively simple to prepare. Our menu for this year is: 

Dave's Smoked Turkey with Pecan Wood

Roasted Carrots and Parsnips topped by Pumpkins Seeds

Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Pancetta

Garlic and Herb Mashed Potatoes

Traditional Green Bean Casserole 

Apple Pie 

Pumpkin Pie

Whipped Cream

All in all is not large or complicated but just wholesome enough to make you feel like you enjoyed a proper Thanksgiving Meal. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
