Ben and I hosted Thanksgiving for the 2nd year in a row and had my parents as our guests. I think we are finally getting the hang of preparing a huge meal in our tiny kitchen. Ben literally had a timeline of when to prep and cook everything so all the food was hot and ready at 5pm exactly.... I think his time management has been influenced by his time in the military.....
For our Thanksgiving meal we had:
Egg Casserole for breakfast
Turkey (Ben did a fantastic job... the turkey didn't need any gravy and you could cut it with a fork!)
Stuffing (only thing not homemade...)
Sweet Potatoes with marshmallows and walnuts
Cranberry Sauce
Loaded mashed potatoes (cheddar cheese, roasted garlic,& bacon)
Green bean casserole
Applebutter Pumpkin Pie
Rum Pecan Pie
Ben's Timeline:
| Preheat oven to 500 | 1:10 |
| Insert Turkey @ 500 | 1:40 |
| Oven to 350 | 2:10 |
| Boil Water | 3:58 |
| Boil sweet potatoes | 4:08 |
| Remove turkey | 4:10 |
| Roast garlic @ 350 | 4:05 |
| Boil water | 4:15 |
| Boil white potatoes | 4:25 |
| Cook bacon | 4:25 |
| Bake beans @ 350 | 4:25 |
| Sweet potatoes in dish with sugar | 4:28 |
| Bake sweet potatoes @ 350 | 4:33 |
| Cut turkey | 4:40 |

| Remove garlic | 4:35 |
| Add marshmallows and nuts | 4:43 |

| Notice the time on the clock..... |
Not too shabby for a tiny kitchen....
