I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Isn’t it nice to have a day to spend with family and to be reminded of all our blessings.
I’m overwhelmed with my blessings this year: a wonderful husband, a great God, a fabulous family, a great job and a trip to Burma in less than two weeks!
This year, we spent our Thanksgiving with my husband’s family in Siloam Springs, Ark.
It was a fun day of cooking, eating, napping and playing games.
Here are some of the culinary highlights:
We started the day off with some delicious cranberry, white chocolate chip scones baked by my whiz of a pastry chef sister-in-law Jessica. Here, Coraline the cat is checking out the scones, too.
Then, I made a chocolate pecan pie (recipe card below) and Jessica made an apple pie for dessert! I just can’t have Thanksgiving without a chocolate pecan pie. It’s a combination of some amazing flavors and it’s kind of like eating a nutty brownie in a pie crust.
Our feasting table.
And my plate, well the first plate anyway.
My mother-in-law even made me a special sweet potato casserole because she knew that I didn’t like the canned yams that my husband loves so much. It was covered in a pecan, brown sugar topping and was one of my favorite sides of the day!
Hope your Thanksgiving was a success, too.
