A very late Thanksgiving post!

So, I totally forgot I had food pics from Thanksgiving. Obviously, we didn't have Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving. I went to the hospital the night before, and had baby A. But before all of that went down, I set up my dining room for my Mother in law and younger Brother in law to come over for Thanksgiving dinner. Since we didn't want to travel too far, just in case I went into labor, they were going to bring dinner to us. T and I were going to make some side dishes like raw cranberry relish, a raw apple crumble. But, as I mentioned, things didn't exactly go as planned. We spent Thanksgiving alone in the hospital, without our baby, I (unable to walk, or leave my room yet) didn't even get to see my little angel. It was pretty sad, T went home late that night and he didn't even have dinner (he even said he was so low he was going to resort to McDonalds...ACK!!!!!, but they weren't opened.. PHEW!). When I was finally able to come home on Sunday, we had our Thanksgiving dinner, with my Mother in law, 2 brother in laws and my bestie! 

Here is my plate: brown rice with walnuts and raisins, green beans with garlic, pineapple sweet potatoes and roasted red potatoes. T and I didn't make our dishes, we were only home for dinner, then went right back to see our baby in NICU (we spent every waking hour with her, besides this dinner).
I also had a stuffed artichoke, stuffed with gluten free bread crumbs.
Here are the pineapple sweet potatoes..
Green Beans (my favorite)..
All of the artichokes..
Brown rice..
Roasted potatoes..
And my house all set up for company (this was taken on the night I went into labor, no wonder I went into labor, look at that nesting!).
I hope you all had a wonderful one.. I hope to make my way around the blog world soon to catch up!
Much Love!

I am glad you took some time to eat despite having the baby in the NICU. The stuffed artichoke looks interesting, recipe?
