Happy Thanksgiving week!! We're really excited that my sister, Jerris (her boyfriend) and her friend Erin are coming Wednesday night through Sunday for Thanksgiving. This will be my first Thanksgiving dinner that I'll be cooking. ----It has the potential to be a disaster.---- We're going to have our lunch on Friday because Dave is on-call all day Thursday until Friday noon.
I'm going to make 'dressing'. I feel like it's very southern. So I got the recipe from a girl at work. I don't think any of us have had it before, which is good because then know one will know if it's terrible.
This is our menu: Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, homemade macaroni and cheese (also southern), dressing, my mom's homemade dinner rolls (which will hopefully turn out), and green beans. And for dessert, fruit pizza and homemade chocolate cake. (I bought Dave a pumpkin pie from Publix's bakery b/c he LOVES it, but is the only one.)
I just want to say that we are so thankful for everything this season. Our family, friends, health, and all the blessings in our life. Seriously, every day I just thank God for all of our blessings....sometimes I think it's just too good to be true. We're all healthy...and that within itself is truly amazing. My heart just breaks for my patients and their families this time of year...it really puts things into perspective. Hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving!!
