About last night…and lots of nights to come 🤦♀️🦃🦃🦃
Turkey for two… that feeds 20. Any neighborhood peeps want - please ask!
This is what happens when you buy a turkey with the intentions of making it..and then don’t.
I’m like if we don’t use this now:
number one —uh coming up on 8 months in the freezer…me thinks it’s time
number two—3 1/2 months till thanksgiving… I need to be turkey free leading up to it, so that we can’t wait to sink our teeth into it!
No…I did not break out my “I can’t wait to use my new thanksgiving dishes, dishes” I was a smidge under the weather, or I would have.
The turkey was fabulous by the way. Moist tender juicy and flavorful and ZERO basting. Zero oil or margarine, no marinating it for hours, no funny plastic cooking bags.
2 “tricks”
1) the black covered roasting pan. NOT an aluminum foil pan. I don’t care if you use it only once a year - it’s worth it. I have 4 different sizes. Makes the best chicken too. Amazon affiliate link:

2)for the love of Gd, don’t overcook it! 🤦♀️😂
➡️➡️➡️ SIDE DISHES MATTER!
😋😋😋Make ‘em delicious, keep ‘em healthy!
✅🍠Last night we had it with homemade baked sweet potato fries with cinnamon, sugar free maple syrup, almond extract and a few broken up pecans yummm
✅🍄Chopped Cauliflower with portobello mushrooms and some pan juices. Sooo delicious.
🦃Tonight, because yes, we have a bit leftover and when I say a bit - I mean A LOT. 😂 . I’ll make more cauliflower/mushrooms and I think a small leafy salad.
🍂🍁🍂🍁It’s fall I love best of all. 41 days till September 22, the first day
🏈 23 days away! September 4th first game of the season - Eagles and my Cowboys (thank you daddy).
☀️🔥🥵And on that note, 91 degrees expected high today. Ugh
Have a great day!
