I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday and for those that do not celebrate…well I hope you had the time off so you could relax and spend quality time with family and friends. I love Thanksgiving because it is one holiday were we all can get together enjoying each others company and not worry about buying someone gifts. It is a holiday that allows us to be thankful for the family and friends we have and the good food we get to eat.
I did not cook the holiday meal this year. I did that a couple of years ago and boy do I give my mom props for cooking every Thanksgiving without a second thought. Personally If I never have to cook the whole meal again…I won’t. And I love to cook, but it is exhausting and you truly do not get to enjoy everyone and everything around you. Then by the time you have finished cooking so everyone can eat…you are not hungry at all. NOPE...I love eating on Thanksgiving so I’ll pass. However I did make some deserts that night before this year and that was fun! I sat around with some friends and I made a Carrot Cake Cheese Cake, Pumpkin Role and a Rum Cake. The Cheese Cake I made for the first time and it came out delicious! It was layers of cake then cheese cake. If you like carrot cakes, then you have to try it. Let me know and I will get the recipe for you.
This year at the dinner table we went around telling everyone what we were thankful for. So people were funny and it was sad to hear what they had to live for…J/k. However others were genuine and really touched my heart. I was thankful for having the great friends and family to share the holidays with. There are a lot of people in the world whom have nobody special in their lives to chare these great times with. I am also thankful for being healthy and being able to get out of bed morning. There are things in life so many of us take for granted. So what were you thankful for this year?
