If you are in the U.S. and celebrate Thanksgiving I hope you had a great time eating some delicious food with your loved ones!
I cooked our first Thanksgiving dinner at the new farmhouse and I’ll just say it was a hit with the little family!
My butter and rosemary turkey was nice and juicy thanks to Alton Brown’s brining method. I do it every year.
My dressing/stuffing … it was delicious! Made from homemade cornbread and breadcrumbs, herbs and crumbled sausage, etc. As my husband was eating he told me to write down the recipe before I forget it! I love experimenting in the kitchen… sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. This time it did and my recipe is a keeper!
It is just the best feeling in the world to know that your food only had to travel a few feet to get to your table! My fall garden is growing GREAT so far!… can you believe no deer have come by to eat my goodies either?! We’ll see how long that lasts… but I’m sure having two dogs roaming the property sure helps!

Your Thanksgiving dinner looked amazing! And, how fabulous that you took the vegetables right from your own garden to your dinner table. It doesn’t get any better than that. Good job, Vanessa!

Beautiful garden! I am envious of your kale. Did you start from seeds or starts?

Thank you all so much! We are having a blast at the new homestead. :o) Greenbasket: All the plants in the cedar raised beds were grown from starts…and the onions too. Everything else from seed. We get our starts from a great organic farm run by a couple down the road from where we live now. :o)
