My stuffing...

As a newbie of cooking turkey and turkey stuffing I was kind of having a second thought if it turns out well. To my surprise our guest likes it. The turkey was moist inside not dry and my stuffing is just really good. And because I am a newbie I rely most of the measurement to my recipe (taste of home mag) but it turns out really good. Hubby told me we could just buy the stuffing mixed from the store but I was determined to make my first turkey and stuffing from scratch. And so I bake the corn bread first then cooked the sage sausage with celery, bell pepper and onions etc. When they were cooked I just mixed the two and voila my first stuffing unfold. Here is the pic.

Left over turkey..

Thanksgiving is over and today is Black Friday. I was so tired that I woke up 8:35am and still do feel drained out. Anyway, everything goes so smoothly and nicely yesterday. Food is overflowing on the table and everything was stuffed (not just the turkey huh hehe). Unfortunately, I was not able to take pictures of my first turkey and some of the food. But was able to take the turkey left over:

What is my menu?

Okey guys and gals it is time to update before Thanksgiving day. This is my fifth year to spend Thanksgiving day with my LH (lovinghusband) and this time he is so determine to host the family Thanksgiving party. For the past few years since I get here we only went to his daughters house and spend the Thanksgiving with them. This time he is so eager and excited to host and as a sweet and loving wife (lol) I nod with approval. So a week before we already went to Sams to purchase our first turkey hehe it weights 18lbs and very heavy. But right now the bird is almost thawed out for tomorrows baking. Today, we went to Sams and Meijers and the other day at Wal-mart to get some ingredients. For now, I already feel the Thanksgiving bug lol. Here is our Thanksgiving menu.
1. Turkey with sausage corn bread stuffing
2. Thanksgiving gravy
3. Bean Casserole
4. Mashed potato
5. Deviled eggs
6. Scalloped broccoli
7. Spring rolls (lumpia)
8. Pancit
9. Pumpkin pie
10. Pecan pie
11. Apple pie
12. Yams with marshmallows
13. Menudo
14. cheddar mini-quiche
Okay...you may think that I am going to cook or bake all those good food. For the pies we bought it in our neighbors apple orchard ordered it the day before and picked it up today. The spring rolls did the rolling the other day tomorrow will just deep fry it in my deep fryer. The cheddar mini-quice I baked it yesterday. The pancit and menudo slices the meat already so it will be very easy for me to just mix and stir. So I guess I am ready for tomorrow. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!
