Thanksgiving Dinner 2014 Recipes

Today Thanksgiving is celebrated throughout US and it’s a tradition to roast turkey on this occasion. I am not a great fan of Turkey so i decided to make an impromptu dinner consisting of grilled chicken, cheese chill dinner puff pastry, sautéed potatoes with herbs and cranberry orange muffins. I know sounds a lot but trust me everything was done in 1.5 hrs.
