Thanksgiving is a great time. A time to reflect on everything we are thankful for in life. Which I have much to be thankful for! It's also a time for good food and company. Both of which I hoped to enjoy.
The problem was, I was cooking a Thanksgiving meal for the first time ever and with company coming over. Thanks to Geoff it wasn't nearly as difficult as I had thought. He was a co-cook in the whole operation. Also Cyndie, his mom came over early and helped us out.
First of course we ran a 10k race Thanksgiving morning to add to the excitement. Here's what we made:
- 9 lb Organic Grass Fed Turkey
- Enough Homemade Stuffing to serve a small army
- Gravy
- Mashed potatoes
- Fresh steamed green beans
- Spinach Salad with carrots and green pepper
- Sweet potatoes
- Cranberry Orange Walnut salad
- Rolls
- 8 lb Ham (Geoff's mom brought)
- 2 Pumpkin pies & whip cream (Geoff's mom brought)
We were so hungry we forgot to take a picture of the table before everyone started eating. So here's a picture afterwards. Left to right: Geoff's Dad, Geoff's Mom, Geoff's cousin's husband, Geoff's cousin, their baby, Geoff, me and one of our dogs.
