First Thanksgiving Meal

So I wanted to do a post about my first Thanksgiving meal that I cooked! I was actually pretty proud of myself because nothing was burned or tasted awful. Well, the mashed potatoes were a little lumpy, but they still tasted great. And although I ended up buying a few things, my greatest accomplishment of the day was that the turkey was delicious! As some of you know, I am not the best cook in the world, but I have to admit I've made some pretty great strides in the past year or so and now would consider myself alright in the kitchen. :)

I also made two flower arrangements to go on our table and we used our china, so I think the table looked pretty good! I really do like setting a nice table for entertaining, so even though it was just Mike and I, I wanted it still to look pretty and festive! I'm not going to lie, I felt a little bit like Martha Stewart that day! I have really come to enjoy doing crafty, Martha Stewart-y things around the house lately. I think I might even attempt making a Christmas wreath this year!

Here are some pictures of Mike and my Thanksgiving dinner.
