Hosting Thanksgiving

Today was our first Thanksgiving in our new home and we decided to host my entire family!! I was so excited and have been waiting for years to host Thanksgiving. I made homemade Italian Wedding Soup for an appetizer along with a cheese platter, crackers, dip, homemade sopressata and this adorable veggie platter shaped like a turkey!


We fried our turkeys this year and WOW!!!! Look at how awesome this turkey turned out- and boy was it delicious. We made our own rub for it which included butter, garlic, seasoned salt, beer, honey, mustard and italian seasoning. I wish I took a picture of both turkeys, but they were gone soooooo fast!!

Overall, this was a very successful holiday and I've already started planning next years menu! We gobbled till we wobbled, now it's bed time.... goodnight!
