I started this on Thanksgiving. A whirlwind of events happened in between then and now that prevented me from finishing, so finally here it is!
I welcome this start to the end of the year celebrations to follow. Who doesn't love to get together with family and friends? Through food, much love is shown in nourishing the soul, mind and body. I love taking the time to cook from scratch. As I write, my turkey is in the last stages of final roasting glory before becoming a gift on my table.
A few must-haves for the day:
 |
Proper tablescape
|
 |
Good Wine
|
 |
| People with appetites! |
 |
| Fresh Herbs (Sage, Rosemary, Thyme) |
 |
| Homemade Cranberries (YAY they molded!) |
 |
| Momma's dressing - so moist and flavorful! |
 |
| A perfect gravy ~ yes, it was |
 |
From beginning
|
 |
| To end |
And everything in between, it was a great meal and a lot of love and passion for re-creating our favorites each year makes eating it so enjoyable! Love to feed people and know they are getting the best from me. Sharing such little time together as our lives take us in different directions, it is a pleasure to cook and serve and be together, even if it isn't every week.
NOW....it's time to get ready for Christmas! Stay tuned!
