Making Thanksgiving Meal on My Own

On Veterans Day I decided to make the FULL Thanksgiving meal. Yes, I know it is crazy to make that big of a meal for just Eric and I, but I figured I would start practicing now before I have 3 kids running around and relatives visiting. This way I can work out all the kinks. For example: Last year when I tried this I accidentally grabbed just a turkey breast. This year I made sure I bought a real full turkey, but I put too much sage in the stuffing. Hopefully next year the stuffing will be much better. By the time dinner was ready I had made an 11 lb. turkey, homemade stuffing, homemade mashed potatoes, peas, cranberry sauce, homemade gravy, and even a homemade pumpkin pie and french silk pie with cool whip.

Here are some pictures of my success.
