We hosted Thanksgiving at our place again this year. I think it's now become a tradition to do so, I thoroughly enjoy making a dinner and having everyone over to share. I'll let the pics do the explaining.
 |
| Fresh picked sage and thyme from our garden... |
 |
| Used in our stuffing with our home grown celery! |
 |
| Our 9.8 pound fresh turkey from Sprouts Market. It brined in apple juice and salt for 2 days. |
 |
| Butter makes the meal! Two sticks for the stuffing. |
 |
| Homemade bread by Mommy added to the celery, onions, and herbs. |
 |
| Turkey check. Halfway through cooking I flip it over. This way the breast meat starts out in broth and doesn't get too dry. |
 |
| Time to flip! |
 |
| Table set. Skyler saved his place name tags from last year's Thanksgiving! |
 |
| Stuffing and bird on the bottom, cranberry and garden squash on top. |
 |
| Boiling the potatoes for mashed potatoes really made the house humid! Skyler decided to write on the front door. |
 |
| It says "Happy Thanksgiving everyone"! |
 |
| He made the wreath at school. |
 |
| Cranberry apple compote. Every dish featured something grown in our yard. In this case, it was apples from my Parents' apple tree. |
 |
| The garden grown butternut and acorn squash. It didn't look too pretty but it was delicious! My own recipe. :) |
 |
| Finished stuffing. |
 |
| Finished turkey. |
 |
| My plate in progress. |
 |
| Full table. It was kind of quiet. That means everyone (hopefully) enjoyed the food! Thank you family for coming to dinner! |
