this year was our first thanksgiving in new york. while i absolutely love celebrating in minneapolis with our families, it was fun to experience something new. i made three dishes- sweet potatoes, green beans and a butternut squash/pomegranate/kale salad. i was particularly proud of the salad- it was easy to make and turned out really beautiful. i got the recipe from here.
