I think it is surely the mark of a great holiday
break if I get to take a nap every single day!
Some were only catnaps -- but a nap is a nap is a nap, right!
Wow -- can I say that I outdid myself and
give myself a big ol' pat on the back?!!
First, let me say that I am not the best cook AND I am not
always the best at timing dishes so everything is ready and
warm-ish at the right time, but this year, I rocked it!

Oh yes I did!
The turkey was a fresh brined one from Trader Joe's and turned out fabulous --
it looked even better than it tasted and seriously,
how often does that happen??

Lisa's Mashed Potato casserole was incredibly yummy as always.
If I could have only one side dish -- it would be those mashed potatoes!
Mrs. Peppperidge Farm helped my stuffing this year -
huge improvement over the incredibly dry cornbread stuff I attempted last year.
A corn cake casserole was a big hit with all --
even Maddy the non-veggie eater liked it!

Hubby's requested green bean casserole was
evidently delish (I don't eat that stuff, ever).
My daughter-in-law brought the best Mock Thunderbird salad --
not sure what the mock is about --
it's definitely mocking my diet!

What's not to love about a salad with both bacon and mayo in it?
Probably not on the Biggest Loser meal plan but extremely delish!!
Add dinner rolls and wine and it was a real meal and . . .
get this -- it was all ready at the same time!

Pumpkin pie and a
Chocolate and Vanilla Flourless Cake
(aka chocolate marble cheesecake) made appearances too.
Oh yes, and then a food coma ensued
-- hence the naps! :)

Thanksgiving -- the family, the food, the fun
so much to be thankful for -- it was a fabulous holiday!
We missed those who couldn't be with us this year.
