Thanksgiving is coming very soon and what that means to me is time to start planning! This year is very special since it's our 1st one with Kaitlyn. I'm excited to see her try some of our Thanksgiving Day treats! We are starting to slowly break away from fully pureed foods to ones with a little more texture, so Thanksgiving Day will be a perfect day to really make a transition.
We have hosted Thanksgiving for almost 4/5 years now. The first few were a bit rough in regards to finding a rhythm. I always remember watching the Thanksgiving parade and watching my parents prepare for the big feast and it always looked to be a smooth process. Now i know that it takes a few Thanksgiving meals to get under your belt and then your practically a pro. We used to have my parents make the Turkey. We were always scared that we would mess up the star of the feast. Mind you we love cooking and now what we are doing but it always scared us. Until last year.. my husband made the big decision to fully takeover and make the Turkey and it was the BEST turkey i've ever had.. my Dad even admitted that its better than his!!!
So now that we have our Thanksgiving Day "mastered'.. I'm now at the point of lets make a Thanksgiving Day binder that we can always refer to so there's no questions as to what did we do last year or what side did we add (since we are always adding an extra flavor to the meal). So after we sat down this weekend and made our menu, i'm now at the stage of putting the binder together. Once i get it all finalized i will share it with you all! I purchased a few templates of etsy and found some free printables but i'm not sure which I want to use for my binder. Once i figure it out i will share the links to the sellers so that you can also create your own binder!
