Happy Thanksgiving! Turkey is in the oven and roasting! Laundry going, kitchen cleaned, and watching the parade. I even made snickerdoodle cookies while I made eggs and bacon for breakfast. Talk about movin'! This is not my first time cooking Thanksgiving, but it is my first time making a turkey. My first year I just did a breast in the "Set-It-&-Forget-It," and a small ham. Thought it would help break up all the turkey. Anyways, I decided on a 20lb turkey this year! My father, sister, and my two nephews were supposed to come up but unfortunately my Aunt in Ohio is very sick so my dad felt it was important to head out there. So no dad, no sister and nephews since they were all going to ride together. So that leaves 20lbs for my fiance and me. Yep. Can you say leftovers??
Since it was our first just us, I decided to stick with my fiance's favorites. Turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, steamed broccoli, and crescent rolls. Oye, this is going to be a tough one. Just going to do my best. Eat lots of turkey and broccoli. Easy on the rest. I also have a pretty good workout planned.
Thanksgiving it just another day. I can do this.
