Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian readers out there. This past weekend was action packed to say the least. Saturday included some work at the house site, taking a load to the dump, and a super Thanksgiving Dinner. It didn’t end there, to close out the night Mrs. Zesty and I hit the dance floor during a wedding reception we were invited to.
That was only Saturday which I know is likely hard to imagine…. but Sunday was equally as exciting. We were invited to a family picnic by our house builders. It was really nice of them to do that and we had a great time. The weather was very nice for a change and the kids had a great time running around and playing. The food looked amazing and I did have a sample of the seafood chowder. I didn’t want to pig out too much because we had plans to have another turkey dinner with my Family.
I kind of have a hodge podge post for you today because I was unsure how to structure it (the whole week for that matter). What I thought would be a great idea is to have a “Turkey Feast Week“. This week will include fantastic turkey creations from kicked up vegetable dishes, homemade cranberry, mustard pickles, amazing dressing, melt in your mouth turkey and of course a couple of killer desserts.
With that said, I am going to start the week of with a glimpse at the full meal deal and some random shots throughout the cooking process.
As I mentioned on Friday, we were going to attempt to go apple picking on Saturday if the weather was fine – the weather was not fine! Poured rain all day on Saturday so we are attempting to go today. I will keep you posted and may intervene with an apple post.
Before I start off this fun post I need to announce the three lucky winners of the POM Tea Giveaway.

Turkey Day
Without giving away some great recipes today, I am going to share with you some shots I took throughout the day on Saturday. I will get into the details and recipe specifics later this week. I am so excited about the line-up I am finding it hard not to post them all at once.
I hope you have a super Monday and if it is a holiday for you – please enjoy it. I am heading out to the house today to hang with the builders and maybe help them if I can.
Take care
zesty

Sounds like an exciting weekend! I have to admit that I am little jealous that you Canadians get to celebrate Thanksgiving already–all that delicious food has me craving all the Turkey Day fixins!
Wow!! That looks like a yummy feast!
Happy Thanksgiving!
The fact that you have Thanksgiving well over a month before us makes me jealous–all that good homemade turkey day grub is the best
Glad you enjoyed your weekend! At least you don’t have snow there yet–we have about 1-2 inches.
Happy Thanksgiving to you Zesty. Looks like you had a delicious one
Don’t Americans find their turkey fest Thanksgiving date a little too close to the Xmas one?
