Ahh, if only my Thanksgiving table could really look like this. Sadly, however, that dream will not be coming true this year, but I am one step closer to it! Yes, this year, dear readers, I am hosting my first Thanksgiving in my closet sized apartment. Mom, dad, Anna, Randy and little Jack Jack will be coming to town to celebrate Turkey Day with me and Jeff! We couldn’t be any more excited, (speaking of which, Anna have y’all booked your flight yet?) Alas, the sleeping arrangements are going to be a little less than desirable, ie: Mom and Dad in the bedroom and Me, Jeff, Anna and Randy on air mattresses in the nook that we like to call our “living room.” And don’t forget Jacky Bear, he’ll be snuggled in there with us too!
I know what you’re thinking, are you nuts? Yes, it will be a little tight in there, but I just didn’t have the heart to tell the parents or Anna and Randy to spend $1500 staying in a hotel for Thanksgiving, boo. Sooo, Seven’s Company here we come! But, back to the topic at hand: Thanksgiving dinner! I am taking it upon myself this year to do all of the grocery shopping and a lot of the cooking, big dreams right? Actually, I’m really up for the challenge and looking forward to it. I’m going to be introducing some of the recipes I’m planning over the next few days. First up, we have homemade Mac and Cheese! Mmmmmm, behold!
LOBSTER MAC AND CHEESE
Of course mine will have some minor adjustments. Most importantly, there’s no way I can afford lobster. So, we’ll just scratch that off the list of ingredients, haha. But I’ve actually made this dish before and it turned out DELICIOUS!! It was a huge hit with the hubby, so it will definitely be making an appearance on our Thanksgiving table.
My masterpiece!
Looks almost as yummy as the other one right? Humor me here!
