Thanksgiving



So I did have good intentions...I planned on recipes ...photos ....and more for Thanksgiving. What I didn't plan was my hubby in the hospital for 4 days the week before Thanksgiving. So while I did get my lists on the blog...that was it....! I barely had enough time to shop and cook for my family!



The food turned out really good! After brining my free-range turkey in apple cider, kosher salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, juniper berries, rosemary, thyme, onion, and garlic. I stuffed it with oranges, lemons, and onion and roasted it in white wine and butter with plenty of poultry seasoning.






The dressing and gravy was so good with all that wonderful broth from the turkey...



We all had a good time visiting and playing with the grandbaby. It was a quieter Thanksgiving with not as many as we usually have for dinner. My parents and some friends were there for dinner. My son and his family were in South Carolina with his in-laws and my girls just came over to visit after eating dinner with their " significant other's" families.

There was plenty of food and lots of leftovers for everyone to take home.

So I will do more for Christmas with lots of baking so be sure to check back often.
