Our Thanksgiving Day Menu

Breakfast:

The in-laws slept through breakfast.  :)  That's okay with me.  I wish I could have done the same!

The children had a choice of toast or cold cereal (which they prepared for themselves.)

I am not sure what hubby had, but I had a whey protein smoothie.  Yum!

Lunch:

Salami

Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Butter Crackers

Leek Onion Soup Dip in a Sour Dough Bread Bowl

Broccoli

Lil' Smokies

Supper:

Turkey

Gravy

Stuffing

Yams

Cranberry Sauce

Oranges

Corn

Greenbean Casserole

Fruit Salad

Garlic Smashed Baked Mashed Potatoes

Martinelli's Sparkling Grape Juice and Cran-Apple Cider

Dessert:

Apple Pie

Pumpkin Pie

Vanilla Ice Cream

Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Cool Whip

I am proud to say that I did not overeat.  I had a small taste of each food and did not stuff myself.  I still felt full, but not sick-full.  And even so, I took a nap in the late afternoon!  I think its just a tradition. LOL!

Looks like a fabulous meal! I am hungry just reading it!

And you know that turkey makes you sleepy? It does indeed... perhaps you didn't overeat, but ate too much turkey and had to lie your head down.lol

Love,
Jocelyn

Sounds great! How nice of you to prepare 3 meals. Breakfast is DIY around here too. Then I always plan to eat the main meal around 2 or 3, so I only have to cook once. They nibble on leftovers later, if they're hungry.

Your Thanksgiving sounded very much like ours! Although we did regular mashed potatoes, I really should try garlic baked, even sounds good. I'm glad you handled eating well without over doing it, wish I could say the same, but I'm trying. So glad to hop over and catch up!

Mmmmm...that sounds like it was really good!! Our Thanksgiving meal was wonderful, too. But of course the best part was that it was spent with family. :-)

Thanks for posting that info on Candex; it's what I've been hearing. I've already pulled Little Guy off it & will pull everyone else off it too. I've had Threelac here for a few days but haven't tried it yet; have heard varied reports on that one as well, but mostly good, so it's next on my "to try" list, however I'll go slowly. Thanks, hope you are well! Michele

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
