Nothing says Friendsgiving like a cornucopia!  Thanks to Vishnu we were able to enjoy a very festive background image while we ate!

As for dinner…

Robin, Andy, Vishnu, and I enjoyed a delicious and VERY filling meal!  Seriously you guys.  I haven’t felt this full in a long time!  After dinner I changed out of my jeans and put on my stretchy pants.  I was THAT full.

Robin and I split up the menu and tackled it separately during the day on Saturday.  Our kitchens are super tiny so this was the best approach.  Plus I know absolutely nothing about cooking a turkey!

Robin and Andy prepared the turkey, veggie stuffing, and the best sangria in the world.  I’m not kidding about the sangria – it was delicious (and potent!).  I’ll get the recipe from Robin and share it here soon.

Vishnu (my taste tester) and I made:

EVERYTHING was amazing, evident by the number of times each of us refilled our plates!

My plate – round 1

A chocolate lover’s dream!

After saying thanks, eating until we almost burst, and cleaning up, we settled in for a night of YouTube videos.  I’m not kidding.  For two hours we sat and watched our favorite videos, which ended up being the perfect plan because the last thing any of us wanted to do after our huge meal was be active.  Talk about a food coma!

I wonder if Friendsgiving 2014 will be able to top this.  I mean, we set the bar pretty high!  Until next year…

  1. Food looks so yummy! Also, what a beautiful background in your pictures? May I ask where you live? (I am new to your blog)

  2. Stretchy pants are a -must- on Thanksgiving. I always work my outfit around them after making the mistake of wearing jeans one year 😆 But it’s hard to say no to food that good — Thanksgiving dinner is probably my favourite meal of the entire year.

  3. Such a fun Friendsgiving.. I’m sick of hosting, I want someone to invite me over for a change. 🙂 it’s a good thing my family always hosts.. can’t wait for next week. Those sweet potatoes look so good!

    1. LOL! You crack me up! I’m actually trying to learn how to be a better hostess, so this was perfect for me! It’s a little hard in a tiny apt but kinda fun nonetheless!

    1. HAHAHA! When Vishnu put that up, the first thing I said was that the entire image reminded me of elementary school. Every year around this time we would learn about the history behind Thanksgiving and then we would color cornucopias! LOL!
