Turkey Lurky Dooo….
The title of this post comes from Adam Sandlers “thanksgiving” song, if you are wondering!
I hope you all had a wonderful, delicious, family filled thanksgiving! This year my family and I spent it in Cape Cod. We have a house there and very close friends of ours have a house there as well. The thanksgiving feast was at our family friends house.
Table setting.
The Beautiful table setting
Our place settings, The plates had birds on them. How appropriate!
We each had a chocolate turkey on our plates!

We played some shuffleboard before the festivities.
We were all served some Brocolli and Fennel soup made by my mom. This was served as we watched some football, played some shuffleboard and caught up with each other! It was beyond delicious. Super healthy and so light. I will get the recipe and post it from my mom.
Some moist, chewy, buttery Squash rolls were served with the soup. The color reminded me of egg bagels.
Mashed sweet potatoes are under there, I promise! one half with ‘mellows, one half with pecan/brown sugar.
After the broiling process.

I was all over the pumpkin cookie!

This was amazing. I heated it up in the oven too! It had the perfect gingerbread/pumpkin spices and was not too sweet which i enjoyed. I ate it with the vanilla ice cream on top!

FOOD COMA beyond. Everything was so delicious!!
How was everyones thanksgivings? Did you all eat what you were looking forward to?
Did you try anything NEW this year that you just loved?

Yay I’m so excited it came!!!
Happy Thanksgiving, Naomi! 🙂

I would have been all over those green beans! Yum.
Gotta have the fresh fruit with dessert 😉
I tried Trader Joe’s lemon bars for the first time–they weren’t to die for but still good and much better than making my own
Looks like a great time!! Your table setting is gorgeous, and the food looks amazing. I have never seen sweet potato casserole with LARGE marshmallows! ONly small ones, but heck , it looks awesome.
My favorite new food was the cranberry horseradish dish my mother made, it was awesome.
Your desserts look delish!!
I swear I heard that Adam Sandler song AT LEAST 5 times yesterday, hilarious!
gorgeous family you have there, Naomi 🙂 You’ve been blessed with good genes!
Sounds like a yummy holiday, glad you enjoyed yourself!
Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving! I love the messy cookie hand picture! 🙂

Im glad you had a great thanksgiving! the food is SO yummy looking 😀
“one half with ‘mellows, one half with pecan/brown sugar.”—wow!!!!
The toffee bites are right up my alley as is that squished choc chip caramel cookie mess. Hot diggity, that has my name all over it.
Happy TG Weekend, Naomi 🙂

Canadian Thanksgiving was a month ago and after looking at all your photos, I desperately wish I got a repeat dinner! Yummmmers.
Mmm, the fresh fruit you had with dessert looks amazing – can you tell what I am craving tonight?
My T-Day was great – it’s always nice to get together and EAT. Glad yours was good as well 🙂
It all looked so lovely and yummy!!! Glad you had a god time! I’m looking forward to finding out the recipe for Brocolli and Fennel soup, looked soo good!

Happy belated Thanksgiving my love! 🙂 dinner looks amazing and everything looks soooo tasty!!!! I just adore thanksgiving!
My aunt made this pumpkin cake, and i’ve never had pumpkin cake or pie, so i decided to take the plunge and just try it. the verdict. I LOVED it! i think the cream cheese frosting helped a bit, but still it was amazing! 🙂
glad you had such a great day!
Oh goodness everything looks good! Especially that pumpkin cookie! I used to buy chocolate pumpkin cookies from Smiths back in the day.. oh my they were good!
Wow! Everything looks SO wonderful! I’m in love with the decor…and that turkey chocolate!
The new thing I tried was: cranberry sauce, stuffing, banana pudding. I’m a newbie to Thanksgiving food!
WOW!! great thanksgiving girl! so many good desserts-u def had self control there. love the chocolate turkeys.
i tried fresh figs for the first time..loved it!
Holy friggin Thanksgiving! What a dinner. I think that’s the best I’ve seen so far in the blogworld. I wish I was in your family!
Looks like a perfect Thanksgiving. Great looking food and place settings. Ours was good, all the normal goods. Hard to find good veggie stuff so we made deviled eggs and a sweet potato casserole so I would have something to eat.
wow! everything looks fabulous! That all looks like one amazing thanksgiving meal! I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
Looks like a fantastic meal!!

Oh my goodness what a great Thanksgiving spread!! You and your fam look super happy together.
I love the mix of sweet goodies and fruit.. what a perfect way to end the day! 🙂
Whoa, so many goodies! The squash rolls sound intriguing, and the sweet potato dish looks delightful! I didn’t try anything “new” other than the pie I made, haha.
Oh your feast looks delicious!
TWO KINDS OF STUFFING?! I’d be all over that.
I did eat what I was looking forward to! Thanksgiving especially- I try and only eat what I’m looking forward to, that way I don’t over indulge on foods that I’m not particularly excited about. 🙂
And yes, my best friend is named Naomi! She’s one of the only ones I know as well. 🙂 Great name!
isn’t food coma the best kind of coma to have? hahaha…… so glad that you had great time and so much good food!!!!!!!!!!

I had my 5 year reunion 2 years ago and it actually was pretty hilarious. I hope yours was good. Your Thanksgiving food definitely looks delicious!
Oh my gosh- everything looks so good! I love the rolls with the soup as a starter to the day- fabulous. And I love the sweet potato casserole two ways.
Yes! We had lots of good eats. It was my first year fully vegetarian- so that was fun
Hope the reunion went well
