Thanksgiving is coming and I am cooking up a storm! I started the day with yoga, to put me into my zen “cooking zone”. I have already baked 2 pumpkin pies, a flourless chocolate cake with a boozy white chocolate cream, cranberry jones, and sweet potatoes with bananas and honey. I am about to roast 6 heads of garlic, to make the herbed garlic butter paste that keeps the turkey moist and flavorful. The house is filled with music, delicious smells and anticipation of the meal to come.
Check back tomorrow for a special Thanksgiving post. I wish you all a wonderful holiday. It is important to step back, enjoy your family and friends, and give thanks for all that you have. Even though things are not always as you would like them to be sometimes, there is always something to be grateful for.
Happy Thanksgiving, and Bon Appetite!
