Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Life has been a little hectic in this blogger's household this past week. But I thought it would be foolish to let Thanksgiving pass without giving it a word or two. We hosted Thanksgiving for 11 in a one bedroom apartment. Yikes! All went according to plan, and besides a few stressful moments, everything was great! My dad was recently told he needed to watch his blood sugar levels, so I tried a few new sides that were lower in carbohydrates. The only dish that I wasn't thrilled with was the stuffing. Disappointing, but there were so many other yummy things it wasn't such a big deal. Plus, it got better with a little time, and it makes a good leftover snack.

I wanted to share with you our meal and give credit to those blogs that I borrowed recipes from. I hope everyone had a great holiday!!!
