It's been a bit busier at work than I'd like during a holiday week, but I'm also LOVING my new job, so I can't complain.
Anyway.
The plan is to go to Steve's parents Thanksgiving late morning-ish then doing dinner at my mom's around 4:30.
Because we'll be at Steve's parents tomorrow for part of the day, I won't have time to make all my sides.
This is my FAVORITE part of Thanksgiving, I think.
The food prep.
I typically do all the sides and usually Steve's parents do the turkey.
Since my mom is home this year, we're splitting the holiday. We haven't spent a real holiday with my mom in like 10 years, so we are very excited for tomorrow.
Anyway, I got my stuff Sunday.
Mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, butternut squash casserole
This makes me smile. My kids were running around making noise. Steve was relaxing in a chair and me and my mom cooking. Also notice the Christmas tree we put up? Since I have a few...ahem...trees, I figured I could give my mom one ;)
Nothing like Grandpa Teenie's stuffing recipe
Almost there
Mom making eggrolls for lunch
Homemade mushroom cream sauce for the green bean casserole.
Almost there!
I made the squash too, which I didn't get a photo of...but I got that put away, the stuffing is ready to go and I have to finish up the green bean casserole tomorrow when we get to mom's house. I plan on making the mashed potatoes when we get there since those don't take long at all.
Done cooking! Enjoying a beverage while mom and Jennifer eat a late lunch.
I'm so excited to be with my mom this year. It's been 10 years since we've done this - cook and prep for a holiday together. We also watched The Great British Baking Show Holiday Edition - which was just the cherry on top.
We'll head to Steve's parents tomorrow late morning and then plan to be at my mom's around 3. Dinner is at 4:30.
Can't wait!
