Yes, you can have a big Thanksgiving and invite the entire family. But with travel delays, family tensions, and heightened expectations, the stress can often overwhelm. So try this tactic: fewer guests, more fun. This mostly make-ahead menu feeds six, and everything—from the goat cheese crostini to the pear tart—celebrates the flavors of fall.

That looks DELICIOUS. I'd make just one addition: Festive cranberry martinis! SO easy, and v. v. yummy: http://urbzen.com/2008/11/25/happy-th...
