Turkey, Turkey, Turkey
I'm thankful for everything that makes me happy and content :)
Since we've moved to Maryland, except for one year, the BF and I have always had a Thanksgiving at home, with just us since we're our own little family. We're home bodies, so we're totally fine with pigging out and just watching tv/playing video games for the day. I usually make a big dinner (since there are two of us, we have leftovers for days). And every year, I like to try out new recipes, while keeping some of the old.
Here's the menu (with links to the applicable sources):
Breakfast
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Appetizer
Broccoli Bites
----These were really good. A little ranch dressing on the side and they were perfect.
Dinner
Herb Roasted Turkey Breast with Apple Cider Gravy
Cheesy Stuffing/Dressing (I never stuff the bird, but I still call it stuffing :)
Paula Deen's Green Bean Casserole
7 Up Biscuits
North African Spiced Carrots
Cheddar and Bacon Smashed Potatoes
Desserts
Cinnamon Roll Dutch Apple Pie
Chocolate Eclairs
----We're doing two desserts in case the pie is a flop. The eclairs are also the BF's favorite dessert ever and I don't want to disappoint.
I prepped everything yesterday, so all I have to do is assemble and cook. I have everything organized and I've made a schedule of the order I need to do things. The turkey is already in the oven and everything is going according to plan. Honestly, the hardest part of today will be the dishes....which I'm hoping I can pass on to the BF....
Now since I have some time to kill, I'm gonna surf the interwebs to see what kinda of shopping deals I can find....
