Noah's First Turkey Dinner

My son, Noah, is an EXCELLENT cook and loves a culinary adventure!  He had never made a turkey...until now!
Noah and Amy belong to a food co-op and every week they pick up fresh farm treasures and plan their menus accordingly.  This Thanksgiving week a turkey was included.
Noah and Amy had invited family friends, Steve and Kirsten, to dinner and we were honored to be asked as well! 


 The table was ready for our little feast...


 Steve and Noah have been friends forever and I am so glad we got to spend some time with him and his multi-talented partner, Kirsten.  This busy couple is extremely active in community theater and Kirsten is a trained opera singer!


 Joe and I thought Abe would love this Pound Puppy.
He did!


 Train time with Grandpa Joe.

And then...
 Roasted butternut squash soup with a hint of bacon...
My favorite new soup!


 The salad had roasted beets and other delicious toppings!


 The turkey was cooked to perfection...


 Amy made this sweet potato casserole and it was heavenly...


 The stuffing was a huge hit...especially with Joe.
Apples and sausage created a wonderful flavoring...
We also had mashed potatoes and rolls and needless to say, we left the dinner table feeling delightfully full!

A bit later...
Joe did some measuring for a couple of projects and Abe was only too happy to help.

Finally...
We gathered once again for dessert and Abe was all about the pumpkin pie...or was it the whipped cream?

Thank you, Noah and Amy, for the best of Day After Thanksgiving Feasts!
You two never cease to amaze me with all you do...

~Feeling VERY blessed~
