It’s our first time hosting a holiday and I’m super excited about it. Our home will be full of people we love and tons of food; what could be better? I’ve been working on the menu and thought I’d share it, complete with links to the recipes I’m using where possible:

Main:

• Spiral Ham

Sides:

• Mashed Potatoes with Gravy
• Honey Bacon Corn (a family favorite)
• Roasted Green Vegetables (I’m hoping for green beans)
• Buns with Butter

Desserts:

• Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
• Pumpkin Pie
• Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bars
• Vanilla Ice Cream and Whipped Cream for topping

Notes:

• My sister Caitlin is also bringing an appetizer and drinks.
• I’m avoiding turkey because I can’t fathom carving one in my condo kitchen.
• This is my first time making pumpkin pie from scratch and I’m scared.

P.S. My white pumpkin is from Save-On-Foods.
