Happy Thanksgiving!

After a great start to the day at the gym, I took the ultimate challenge of cooking my first Thanksgiving dinner for my family. Of course I took pictures to document my first turkey! Take a look at some of the other recipes I found and came up with:

I fueled the long cooking day with a green smoothie.

The start of crockpot apple pie.

 Three potato and carrot oven roasted vegetables.

 Stuffed peppers with rice.

 Chocolate truffle pie.

 The turkey! Still frozen.

 Still frozen an hour later.

 In it goes!

 I brushed it halfway through cooking with butter, apple juice, thyme, garlic, and paprika. This was used to make the gravy.

 Finished potatoes.

 Stuffing.

 Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Apple Cider Sangria

 The turkey is done!

 The complete dinner.

 Opening her "muuuuuy bien" birthday card!

 Left over breakfast: scrambled eggs, onions, peppers, broccoli, and turkey.
