This Thanksgiving was different than most for me. I only had one person other than myself at my table. My son was with me for Thanksgiving.
I usually go all overboard on the holidays. I cook and bake all kinds of yummy stuff.
This year was different. I baked a small turkey, small potato casserole, muffins, tried out a new cranberry salad and baked a pumpkin and pecan pie.
I didn’t want left overs because I was planning on leaving for a short trip right after the holiday.
I didn’t have many left overs but what I did have was mostly eaten the day after the holiday.
I felt guilty at first for not going overboard and then I realized that if I had, I would have had to throw out a lot of food. What sense is there to that?
My son enjoyed what I cooked and we had a good weekend together. I just wasn’t totally stressed out with all of the baking.
It may be the smartest Thanksgiving I have ever hosted. I may just do it again next year.
Hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was awesome and that everyone had a celebratory time with family.
