Jake loves turkey. and butter.

Yesterday we celebrated my Mom’s birthday, and what was the most relaxing and successful Thanksgiving ever. We had a quiet day, where every dish turned out wonderfully, most likely because there was no stress built around anything.

The meal: Turkey with Madeira Gravy, Tzatziki mashed potatoes, green beans with caramelized shallots, brussels sprouts with bacon, and mom’s stuffing.

I am Thankful for so many things, but this year the highest gratitude goes to spending the day with the people (and animals) I Love the most.

We dove into that Turkey right away, barely any time to catch a photo! Everything is already gone, leftovers are being prepped for a delicious soup…

Of course I can’t forget a few of our Thanksgiving recipes! We made 2 great veggie dishes this year, both from Southern Living. Green Beans with Caramelized Shallots and Brussels Sprouts with Applewood Smoked Bacon.
