Gracie started off her turkey day with a hearty breakfast of Malt O Meal, she needed her strength to help mommy in the kitchen.
I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner today. Doesn't that bird look succulent, believe me it was. I made this herb butter and even lifted the skin up and rubbed it in. I basted, basted & basted. Move over Martha Stewart, Gracie's mom is on the move!
My mom's dressing is heaven on a plate. A couple of years ago I videotaped her preparing it. I watched it and tried to follow along. While not as good as hers, it was still daggone good. I was as proud as a peacock.
The only sour note in our day was that sweetums woke up with a pretty bad cold. She sneezed and had a runny nose all day. We were constantly wiping that lil red button as evidenced by the roll of toilet paper on the table.
We were all full & happy by dinner's end. The day couldn't have been more perfect. To feed my sweet girl dressing that I made, I mean I daydreamed about holidays like this but to actual live it, it's just indescribable. I hope everyone had a safe, happy and especially Blessed Thanksgiving. God is always so good!

sweet sweet sweet, we have so much to be thankful for don't we??? Once you perfect the dressing/stuffing don't forget to videotape yourself doing it! Imagine some day Gracie and her children... Happy Thanksgiving
Now that is one good looking bird. My stomach shifted a little when I saw the picture! LOL
Didn't you just have a blast cooking? I didn't this year, I was really sick, but I'm so looking forward to cooking for Christmas.
Dressing is so hard, for me. I might let my grandma handle it this time. :-)
