Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving was quiet and intimate with a small group of family.

When most spend their time cooking since the night before,  I don't like wasting precious time.

Every year,  the menu is always easy to make and not time consuming: Roast Beef,  Green Bean Casserole and Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The difference every year is how the roast beef is seasoned.

This year,  I found a recipe online that asked for various veggies and herbs to be laid on the roasting pan jist right underneath the beef. Though the beef was seasoned with a special rub and some fresh garlic,  the aroma of the herbs and veggies roasting underneath added a burst of flavor in our Roasted Thanksgiving.

I just need to remember not to over-bake nor over-cook the side dishes.
