I checked out the creamy leak gratin and it looks FAAAAAB! too bad my boring family would never eat anything like that...

:(

They didn't even go for the sweet corn pudding and mine came out perfect!

I love baked brie too - yum.

your Thanksgiving meal plan was outstanding, naturally... glad you enjoyed your holiday!

Can't wait to see the Christmas menu!
