A Feast of Photos: Your Holiday Tables and Food
Reader Submissions - Thanksgiving 2009

Kelly of yes, please in Los Angeles, CA: Our lovely placesettings - just for the two of us!

We asked for photos of your Thanksgiving tables and feasts, and wow! A flood of photos from Alaska to Florida came pouring in, and it was such a delight to get a peek into your holiday. Here are about 15 more photos in an updated slideshow. Look for a grandmother's silver turkey platter, a cheerily decorated kids' table, leek and Comte stuffing, a beautifully set table for two, prosciutto-wrapped sweet potato wedges, and much, much more!

Thank you so much for showing us your photos! It was such a delicious peek into your happy Thanksgiving feasts. These photos are also a great source of inspiration for the holiday meals and parties that lie ahead of us this December!

Those Navajo turkey tacos and stuffing fritters look divine! I'd love the recipe for them.

Wow - such a labor of love by everyone here. I really love the Harvest Salad in a pumpkin bowl - gorgeous!
And I like the spice cake decorated with maple and oak leaves and acorns - divine!
Hats off to all of you :)

These all look so fun. Thanks for sharing everyone! I love love the sweet potatoe wedge wrapped in sage and prosciutto idea and that pumpkin bowl is too cute.

Seventh row down, far right. Five pies for 12 people? Holy pie lovers! (They're beauties, though.)

How fun! I went a-visiting for Thanksgiving, and my grandparents set the table the way they set it for every holiday :) which is very cozy, but I'd have loved to do one myself...maybe next year?

there was some wonderful looking food there too...just spent a while on another blog while looking for the recipe for squash-arugula-goat cheese salad. yummy!!
