Here is our dinner (for two!) in a series of pictures...
 |
| Pepperoni and cheese |
We always like to have some snacks around in the morning while we're cooking, so I made a simple plate of sliced pepperoni and cheeses...
And some Ritz crackers with my cheese onion dip...
 |
| Bowls of nuts |
A bowl of salted mixed nuts and a bowl of honey roasted cashews...
Then when it was all ready, we set the table with the food...
White meat turkey (2nd Man's favorite part)...
 |
| Roasted Brussels Sprouts |
Roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon...
 |
| Sausage Apple dressing |
2nd man made his wonderful dressing with apples, sausage, pecans and herbs fresh from our garden...
 |
| Cranberry sauce |
We're both fans of good old fashioned Ocean Spray cranberry sauce from a can. Sometimes, old school is best...
Dark meat turkey (my favorite part)...
 |
| Thanksgiving Dinner |
Mashed potatoes with giblet gravy of course...
 |
| Pumpkin Pie |
And homemade pumpkin pie for dessert. And by homemade I do mean homemade, it's our oven roasted sugar pie pumpkin puree, 2nd Man made the crust and homemade whipped cream.
Needless to say we have lots of leftovers!
HOPE YOU ALL HAD A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I literally have no words...amazing. Ok I guess that was a word ha. It looks like pictures from the Food Network site. Stunning. OK that was more words. I'll stop now. Happy Turkey Day!

Aw, thanks for this, it made our day.
DeleteWOW! I don't know what's more amazing 2nd Man's cooking, how beautifully you eat when it's just the two of you, or the photography that makes me want to crawl through the screen. Wonderful. Enjoy your weekend hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteVery kind of you. He can cook very well, I'm lucky! And thanks for the kind words about my photography. Feeling better now! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving too!
DeleteNow THAT is a feast fit for a king! Or, two kings in this case, bwahaha!
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog but absolute adore it. I have been reading back and am just in love with what you are doing. Much love to you both, I'm sure the election outcome has you worried about conservative new laws, but know that millions stand with you and we won't let anything negative happen.

Well, we don't know what to say about this thoughtful comment. It's beautiful and means the world to us. We are indeed all stronger together, right? Thank you so much!!!
DeleteGorgeous looking table. I could eat stuffing every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and yes, stuffing is SO good. Sigh.
DeleteI KNEW 2nd man would cook a great meal. confidentially, I like the dark meat too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and yep, dark meat is always better.
DeleteEven for me or me and another, I always cook up the whole big meal. When I am alone, I just cook a turkey breast. Leftover Thanksgiving is wonderful. However, this year I could not lift and bend to put the turkey in the oven, so no turkey. I am with 1st Man, breast meat all the way! The rest of the meat is for someone else--anyone.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful. The white serving dishes are spectacular. Great presentation. Can you share the recipe for the Brussel's sprouts?
We just like to eat and enjoy cooking and setting up a spread. 2 or 10, we enjoy, ha.
DeleteThe brussels sprouts, we had a post on it awhile back, it's so easy, just cutting them in half if they are large, fry some bacon, reserve the bacon grease, drizzle over the sprouts, salt/pepper, oven roast for 30-35 minutes at 400 degrees. Take out, toss with the crumbled bacon and enjoy!
That looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThanks, much appreciated!
DeleteI particularly want some of that dressing.
ReplyDeleteit was yummy, I'd mail leftovers but there aren't any, ha!!!
DeleteLooks super yummy. The photos are perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Thanks, we make a good team, he cooks, I photograph and eat, LOL!
DeleteWe don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but when I see what you both present on the table, I just might take a chance on it. I make pumpkinpie with butternut, what do you use? The pictures are delightful, I must stop myself from eating them!! Blessings from Sweden!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We used actual sugar pie pumpkins that we had roasted a few months back and frozen. Thanks for visiting and we hope you'll stop back by!!! You're alwa
Deleteoops, hit enter too quickly. You're always welcome!
DeleteWonderful. Hats off to anyone who makes their own crust. :)))
ReplyDeleteLOL, I will pass that along to 2nd Man. He enjoys making pie crust.
DeleteOh wow, it looks stunning. I guess the invite got lost in the mail, eh?
ReplyDeleteHa!!! Love it! I'll try to remember next year, LOL!
DeleteWow, that looks so wonderful. Just for the TWO of you? Well you know how to put out a spread that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteGahhhh!! I knew ya'll would have loads of photos of gorgeous food for today!! Man, that all looks SO good. I'm always hungry when I leave here! lol! I often make ya'lls oven-roasted potato wedges that you posted a little while back. My husband loves them.
ReplyDeleteHow do you make the cheese onion dip?
ReplyDeleteEverything looks Wonderful and like the idea Everything is served on all white serving dishes...........picture Perfect for magazine or cookbook cover
ReplyDeleteCanned cranberry sauce ( I like too) very acceptably especially when you make the whole pie from scratch. Looks like an amazing dinner!
ReplyDelete1st Man,
ReplyDeleteOMG....your dinner looks amazing!!! Instead of brussel sprouts, we had asparagus. I'm going to need to try making sprouts this way, looks delicious :-)
I hope your holiday way peaceful and fun. When IS 2nd Man publishing his book? I don't cook, but I'd buy it just for the calories I gained looking at the pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove to you both. ♡♡♡♡♡
Gorgeous pictures! All the food looks amazing. Due to scheduling conflicts we weren't able to have our Thanksgiving until today. I had to live vicariously through everyone's Thanksgiving dinners.
