Are you ready for Thanksgiving dinner?

I have been preparing for several days. Over the weekend, I started by baking the pumpkins that would be used to bake pumpkin pie and sugar free pumpkin cheesecake.  Then I started dehydrating fruit and making almond butter.  After that I prepared some chocolate - yes from scratch.  I used a different kind of Stevia and it is grainier than I would prefer but it is slightly less bitter.

Since I am taking this with to share for the Thanksgiving feast, I decided to try to make it less bitter.  I have acquired the taste for dark chocolate more on the bitter side.  But it is definitely an acquired taste.  Added to the banana and cinnamon apple it made a nice tasty treat.

I saw on Facebook, an example of a bacon wrapped Turkey. The picture below is half cooked.  I didn't use any other seasoning, so hopefully this tastes okay.  The dark meat is staying back with Dale and the dogs.  Dale has had a cold and doesn't want to risk getting father ill.

From the list that I have prepared, it feels like I am moving instead of going for the day.  I enjoy cooking and baking; but, I must admit that my kitchen looks like a disaster area. I wish there was someone else to clean it up for me.


Ready or not ~ here we come.
