For Thanksgiving we wanted to cook a full turkey dinner from scratch. This was my first time doing the full dinner so I was pretty excited about it. I had to laugh when I asked Kevin what he wanted to include in the dinner because he responded with olives and deviled eggs. I thought he would say one of the staples like stuffing, rolls or pie. I don't usually associate olives and deviled eggs with a turkey dinner but I will from now on!
Kevin was in charge of the turkey and he decided to grill it. I had never had a grilled turkey so I was excited to try it. And it tasted delicious; very moist and full of flavor!
I wanted to make my dad's pumpkin pie because it is the best recipe and I have never liked anyone else's. Since Kevin is diabetic we altered the recipe to make it sugar free so he could have some. And I was SO excited that I couldn't taste a difference!
Charley was such a good baby, allowing Kevin and I to cook while she just hung out on her play mat.
The recipe I found on pinterest for the stuffing was disappointing. So next time I'll have to try something else. If anyone has a great recipe they would like to share, please let me know! But all in all, the dinner was a success.
And even though we didn't go anywhere, I had to dress Charley up cute for her first Thanksgiving.
Next year it will be so much fun with her!
