The holiday went by so fast.  Tony got home just after 4pm and I hadn’t started cooking yet.  We only had a 10lb turkey and we usually don’t eat until 8 or 9 anyway.  So I started cooking and everything went really smooth until it got down to making sure everything was done, the sweet potatoes, the mashed potatoes, the rolls….all had to be done at the end.  My kitchen counters were now filled with food and dirty dishes.  Overall except for burning myself and cutting my finger everything went well. 

Oh my the food was delicious.  I did a good job.  If I had more room to cook (more counter space)my biscuits, the pie crust and gravy would all have been homemade.  I did not want to take on that task with such little cooking space. 

We all sat down together and watched A Christmas Story and ate dinner.  It was great!!  Well Lil Tony actually paced back and forth from my plate to Tony’s plate.  He doesn’t like to be confined to his highchair.  He started there but refused to eat until we let him out of his chair.  No, he’s not spoiled. 

I also decided to make that Apple Pie, well it was more of an Apple Pie crumble.  There was no crust and just granola crumble on top.  It was really good though.  The only thing I would change is the type of apple I used.  I don’t really like the Granny Smith apples so I may change to the Red Delicious or Gala ones next time.   Also I don’t like Pecan Pie but I tried the one I made and it was also very good. 

The only thing that matters is we all stuffed our faces together as a family.  LOL!  Man, I ate more last night for dinner than I have over the last 4 months.  The best part is I didn’t gain anything, I actually lost weight when I weighed myself this morning.  How great is that?  LOL! 

Anyways here are pics of our dinner, for 4 people that was a lot of food. 

And our desserts…..the Pecan Pie looks burnt but only a little of the crust was a little “well done”. 

I am thankful to have been able to make all that food and share it will my family.  I hope ya’ll enjoyed your day and ate a lot of good food!
