Thanksgiving + Day 20 21 22 of Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you had a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving. The last couple of days have been filled with family, cooking, baking, and errands. We had a great Thanksgiving, well we actually had two. One was held at our house on Saturday, and the other was at my uncle's today. We have been having Thanksgiving at my uncle's house since I was a little girl. My sweet potato souffle was the hit of both Thanksgivings. I will post the recipe later in the week. Then of course we had the usual pumpkin pie, pecan pie, turkey, ham, stuffing, and a few more side dishes. I used Ina Garten's recipe for pumpkin pie from her new cookbook, Foolproof. It was delicious and almost like eating mousse.

I also made a chocolate coconut pie. The crust is made entirely of coconut. The filling is a velvety chocolate ganache. Freakin amazing! I will post the recipe later in the week as well. Can you believe there are only four ingredients to this pie?

Tomorrow we plan to do a little shopping. Hopefully some of the black Friday crowd will be gone by the time we get to the stores. Are you a Black Friday shopper? Are you one of those people who waits in line for hours in search of a great deal? If so. that is awesome. I dont have the patience for it, and it seems to have gotten a bit dangerous over the last few years. My friends have shared some outrageous Black Friday stories with me. Have a great night everyone and thanks for stopping by!

Day 20

I am thankful for traditions such as going to my uncle's every Thanksgiving no matter how old I get. It is now a tradition my kids look forward to as well.

Day 21

I am thankful for life. It continues to teach me so many things and reminds me of what matters.

Day 22

I am thankful for God. Without God, I would be nothing.
