Bona fide

I am now a real adult. I have car payments, rent, insurance, benefits, and I cooked my first Thanksgiving turkey. I wasn’t going to bother since ~~I’m by myself~~ it’s just the dog and me this week, but last Friday I received a 12lb turkey from work so I figured why not? Since no one else but me would be eating the turkey I decided to get experimental in the kitchen and try my hand at roasting a turkey. I made an apple cider sage turkey. The results? Fantastic! Seriously I’ve been bragging about the turkey to anyone and everyone. Just take a look at my tempting turkey

Nekkid turkey. His name is Burt.

All dressed up!

MMMM. Drool :p

: Fall apart tender and juicy

I know! You’re impressed and want the recipe right? Wellllll I don’t use measuring cups and IDK exactly what all I used. I cook like my mama, a pinch of this, a hand full of that, big spoonful, a dollop, ect. So no recipe. Sry. I’m sure that your turkey was delicious too though. Oh fun fact: I made my turkey Monday so I got too eat it all week. Annnd now it’s Friday and I didn’t touch the turkey today, I’m so sick of turkey. Good thing Penny isn’t.

No worries, I got this. No turkey will go to waste on my watch!

Speaking of it being Friday, ya know what that means? 10 spots of happiness in my week.
