Knock Knock! Who's coming for dinner?

This weekend we are having the LT's parents (my new family) over for the weekend. We are going to have a wonderful feast. They are even staying the night. Luckily, we have prepared the guest bedroom and cleaned up the mess of his equipment. It looks like the closet vomited ACU pattern. There are the ACU's, jackets, gloves, protective gear, and whatever else. Luckily, we s q u e e z e d enough room for them to have some hanging space.

Our original idea was to show them the base, watch football and have dinner Saturday. NOW, we have decided to make every room a different holiday. Since the LT is leaving soon, we wanted to make sure his family could celebrate "the holidays" with him. This week I have become quite the domestic Martha Stewart. He has even helped. We made a paper leaf wreath, turkey place settings, ornaments, streamers and the new years eve party blowers! Check out Martha Stewart Dot Com for more info!

We are planning to make Mayflower Martini's, with Dearborn Sausage smoked kielbasa, Brie with jam, assorted nuts and fruit. For the main show we will have a TURKEY! This will be our first time making "the bird" as it has now been referred to. I found a recipe for mushroom stuffing, roasted vegetables and twice baked sweet potato. MMM MMM MMM! Dessert will be some cinnamon dark chocolate fudge and carmel apple cheese cake because my husband dislikes PIE. What is wrong with him? Nothing. I just like to give him a hard time. I am excited for something similar to thanksgiving dessert, but with a new flair.

What are you making for Thanksgiving?? Any tips on how to make everyone happy? HAHA Like that is ever possible. In a perfect world maybe.

  1. I love your blog too! These recipes are amazing! I am currently drooling on the screen, thinking of that cheesecake! I must have some! I'm going to make it this weekend! And for the record, your hubs is a nut! NO PIE! Craziness! :)
