The sun is shining in my kitchen window, it is such a good day! I am so Thankful for my many blessings! My family has been so blessed! I am Thankful above all for God's Love! Thankful for my family's health. I am Thankful for my many friends and what they bring to my life, each and every one brings something different to the table and it is always what I need! I love them all!
Now to the food part......
I made Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake for breakfast that has become a traditons for Thanksgiving breakfast. It makes it easy for people staggering through at different times.
Today is different in the fact that we will be sitting down to eat without guests this year, which is a first in many years. So I am trying to downscale just a bit.
Well, that might not have worked! We still have tons of leftovers!
Menu: Turkey, Ham, Mashed Potatoes, Corn, Green Beans, Baked Beans, Mac & Cheese, Dressing, Cornbread Tomatoes, Rolls, Deviled Eggs, Pumpkin Pie, Red Velvet Cupcakes, and Knock You Naked Brownies!
** I put my turkey in a brine and soaked it overnight. It made for a very moist turkey. (Plus it was a smaller turkey this year) From now on it will be 12lb-ers and brine! I'm sold! Thanks Melissa Johnson for the tip!
