I set out to cook Thanksgiving dinner completely from scratch and I’m really proud of myself for accomplishing that goal. The only thing I wasn’t able to make that I set out to was sourdough dinner rolls but luckily we had an extra loaf of sourdough bread 🥖 Next year I want to grow everything I can too and I am debating raising our turkey so that I know it will live an amazing life🧡 I went through a time in my life where someone really made me doubt my ability and belittled my cooking and I strayed away from it for a long time because of that. I have grown from and am working on healing from those experiences and I’m truly proud of my abilities as a cook now. I’m very thankful not only to have the opportunity to cook this way but also to get to share this passion with you all as well
On the menu tonight and all from scratch was
Turkey (my very first time ever making one)
Sourdough stuffing
Gravy
Mac and cheese
Green bean casserole
Mashed potatoes
Roasted veggies
And for dessert (not pictured)
Apple cobbler
Pumpkin pie
3 different types of sourdough cookies
I may have gone a little overboard with cooking considering it was just us at home but I really wanted to do this and prove to myself I was capable of cooking a meal like this. I have been preparing since Sunday snd want to give a big thank you to my mom and husband for not only helping me with childcare so I could prepare all this food but also encouraging me to believe in my abilities as a cook and pursue this passion I’ve developed🩷
Happy Thanksgiving everyone !
