So, I'm sure most of you are tired of seeing leftovers by now and could possibly pass out at the sight of another turkey leg, but I thought I would post a couple of pics from my adventures in cooking.
This year I got the genius idea to host Thanksgiving at my house. Being that I am from super far away and I couldn't afford to make the trip home this year, I thought it would be fun to invite friends over with my similar situation and have a day of games, food and fun.
There was only one problem! I had never cooked like that before in my entire life.
After panicking for a few days, I got myself together and started searching the net for Turkey Day recipes. I eventually came around to Martha Stewart Living and found a bucket load of recipes.
Martha saved the day!
I found everything I needed. Recipes for mashed potatoes, honey glazed carrots,green bean casserole, homemade rolls and a delicious apple tart.
With the help of my BF I added stuffed bell peppers, mac and cheese, and roasted turkey legs.
I had a tough time starting out with the rolls, but everything else came together pretty easily. Although I was exhausted at the end of it all, I couldn't believe how easy it was.
Our friends enjoyed the food and company, and the night ended as a success.
Viva la Martha!
