Ignore my face – Marie Callender’s did right by us
Hot hubby Michael and I have been cooking all morning, but I was reminded of the time we did a ‘pre-cooked’ Thanksgiving meal from Marie Callender’s.
p.s. it turned out tasty, but we like our family tradition-recipes 🙂
We are a household that cooks on the holidays. In the past several years, Michael has become more and more the ‘foodie,’ which bodes well for me 🙂
Michael does his Food Network & New Jersey Italian thing, and I offer my southern/soul food cuisine.
But I thought I’d do a little #TBT when in 2013 we experimented with a prepared Thanksgiving meal from Marie Callenders.

| Like the original Pilgrims, Michael returns from foraging in the wilderness for our Thanksgiving feast. p.s. check out the bicep. Nice, right? |
 |
| Armed with my cookbooks, I’m taken a bit aback. |
 |
| Michael is so proud. |
 |
| Now, wait a minute…. Oven? Microwave? |
 |
| Truth. |
 |
| Michael attempts to help with the mashed potatoes |
 |
| Michael poses to show how hard it is to unpack the box from MC. Note the flour splashed on his face… |
 |
| “Look at me! Look at all I prepared!” |
 |
| Intimate but bountiful. OK – I’m loving the ease of all this. |
 |
| “Not yet, kids…. not yet….” |
 |
| The glass table top helps to tell the backstage story of what’s going on down under… |
 |
| This pic represents pure love. Not thinking it’s love of Michael and I, but “pure love….” |
 |
| I made Michael take this cheesy pic. Thanks to wonder dog Bruno for photog duties. |
 |
| Ok, I have to admit – Marie Callender’s rocked Thanksgiving this year |
