We've shopped for all our ingredients for Thanksgiving, cleaned out the fridge to make room for the abundance of food, cleaned out our cupboards to make sure we can find everything easily, made sure we are not out of spices, flour, sugar and other essentials, run our "His Majesty" dishes by Johnson Bros. through the dishwasher and plastic wrapped them, pulled out all our service, put up our holiday lights, made sure we are stocked with candles, found the free range bird at Whole Foods, bought the heirloom, rainbow carrots that will be part of our trio of yummy vegetables...bread is Melba toasted for the stuffing. Feeling good! We have a countdown schedule and as long as we stick to it, things should go smoothly.
We are so excited to spend the day with our family, treasured memories, fun, laughter, what's not to love about Thanksgiving??
Our plan is to stuff ourselves with as many vegetables and fruits as we can along with all the other delicious holiday meal foods we're having. We hope in that way not to overeat the things that take weeks of work to exercise off afterwards. Hope it works!!
Our high schooler is starting the tradition of being the person in charge of desserts with apples in them. She loves apples, so her first project is a 5 apple variety crisp. Served warm with vanilla ice cream, she just might win the blue ribbon.
