My first Thanksgiving!

I cooked almost the entire Thanksgiving dinner for the first time ever. Best part was that it was all vegan. My mother in law made a huge Organic Turkey and some mashed potatoes. I made 3 pies ( 2 pumpkin, one vegan one regular and one apple, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, shepherds pie and mushroom gravy.) Everyone loved the food, they raved, they ate and everyone was very happy!

This was a huge win for me! Especially because there was no salt used in any of my cooking and everything was organic. Most people would hear vegan, organic and salt free and think the worst! But it was delicious. The casseroles were creamy, the stuffing was the perfect texture and the pumpkin pie was so good it brought back childhood memories for my father in law!

Here is everything I made minus the shepherds pie. Yesterday went over so well, that this year Christmas dinner will be at my house and I will be the cook!

I almost forgot to say... what I'm thankful for. I am thankful for my huge family spread all over but still very in touch, I am thankful for my country, I am thankful for my son who is healthy and happy, I am thankful for my mom who is going to give the best gift anyone could ever give and donate her kidney and I am very very thankful for my husband who provides for us, laughs with me, is my shoulder to cry, is really an amazing dad to Logan and is my very best friend.

Honestly this year more then ever I've thought about all I have to be thankful for almost everyday.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you know all you have to be thankful for!
