Our first Thanksgiving with just our family. I was kind of bummed at first when I realized that no one was coming to visit, but it turned out really fun. It was our first year to do a turkey on our own. We watched a lot of Food Network and decided what we wanted to make for dinner. The kids all helped and it turned out delicious! We had an amazing turkey, compliments of Chef Eric, cornbread stuffing (The Neeley's recipe), regular stuffing(in case the other didn't turn out), homemade croissants, green bean casserole,and a yummy spinach salad. Oh and don't forget dessert...pumpkin cheesecake and mini apple or cherry pies. We had a great time spending the day together and although we always love to have other family on the Holidays, sometimes its great to just keep it simple. The best part was the next day we made leftover, turkey and stuffing egg rolls with cranberry-orange dipping sauce. The kids want to have turkey again just so we can make the egg rolls!
