Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope all of you had an amazing Thanksgiving and are all laying around unable to move! I had to put on my leggings a.k.a stretchy pants!! lol My Thanksgiving was wonderful!! I made my very first roasted turkey ever!! I brined it, which is something I have never done.  I made my very first corn bread stuffing, with apples and cranberries, and sweet potato casserole with bacon!!!!!!!!! Yes...bacon.  It was all so good. My Aunt Nakita made her famous pumpkin roll, and mom, her famous cranberry salad. Mom also tried a new recipe, an apple cranberry pie! Stupendous.
    The morning started off with my "Overnight French Toast" and coffee of course.  Then I started on the stuffing, and sweet potatoes. I started the turkey this afternoon (our thanksgiving meal is usually our evening meal), for this I brined it the day before, and made a compound butter of fresh rosemary, thyme and sage, covered the entire birdy with the goodness, threw her in the oven and headed for a NAP! MMMhmmm. This evening ended with a game of Mad Gab with some of my favorite people! Ugh, so many things to be thankful for, its almost over whelming! For this evenings blog, I am posting a few pictures that I took but posting no recipes....I will list our menu and recipes will be given upon request! So I can email you the recipe. just leave me your email address and the recipe you would like!...these would be perfect for Christmas!!! Happy Thanksgiving, and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend.
