Round Two: A Durham Thanksgiving

Being married means double the holidays!
We hosted our very first Thanksgiving at our house for the Durham side of the family.
 Michael's first turkey! Thanks Autumn for the perfect turkey gift!
 We started with a delicious tomato soup that Becky made. 
Michael created a pomegranate, molasses glaze for the turkey (probably the best thing I have ever tasted) and we made a sweet potato gnocchi... which was perfection! Top it off with some roasted vegetables and we had a lovely non-traditional Thanksgiving meal. We will be creating that sweet potato gnocchi many more times! I will post the recipe soon!

Family really is the best!

A Goodwin Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving at my parent's house is very traditional. 
We always sit at the same place at the table.
The menu is always the same, 
including a family recipe "Aunt Tilly's Mashed Potatoes"
And the following day always includes decorating for Christmas. 
The jumping jack tree!
I love family!
