fall feast

i had made some delicious fall feast food for Daniel's Friendsgiving dinner in November.

roasted brussle sprouts with toasted pecans, pomegranates, and vanilla butter.

bought all my veggies from Greensgrow
fresh roasted rainbow carrots
harvested the brussle sprouts from the stalk for the first time ever!
apple and onion chutney
de-seeding pomegranates is a tedious task
