I'm still glowing from within after Thanksgiving so I guess I'll share my T-day meal with you:
Mr. Turkey in his full glory :)
He's really yummy!
Most of the items for Thanksgiving lunch
(clockwise, L-R) collard greens ('cuz we live in the South!), home-made gravy, roasted vegetables, corn bread (again, it's the Southerners' food!), home-made stuffing, and a hint of my cranberry-banana bread
He's really yummy!

We decided to be healthy this year and went with sweet potatoes. The dish was very tasty as sweet potatoes have lots of minerals and fibers

Compared to last year, this year we have much more food. Except for the corn bread that was made from the box, everything else were cooked from scratch! My roommate and I could not even believe ourselves that we did all those! I did not take the pictures of the desserts. We had apple cobbler which was really yummy and cranberry-chocolate cake which was off the chain! The later is an excuse to eat more dessert as the two main ingredients are choke full of antioxidants!
I have to give thanks to various cooking shows that I took ideas from: Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray, and America's Test Kitchen (which is a part of Cook Illustrated.) If you guess that I love to cook then you are correct. However, I am not as meticulous as Martha Stewart. I prefer my meals to be as spontaneous as possible after understanding the principles behind them.
Have a happy day, everyone!
