Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving brings a lot of happy memories for me. In my lifetime I've learned a lot about being thankful, great food and humor. If you know my family, you know humor is what gets us through everything good and bad! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

This year we enjoyed the company of most of Mark's siblings and both his parents at our home.  Mark not only prepared stuffed Turkey but a stuffed pork roast. Everything was delicious. It was so great to have everyone bring a side dish for dinner. Awesome green beans in garlic, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, broccoli casseroles, cranberries, bakery rolls, buttered corn, and of course stuffing with gravy. For dessert we had some bakery pumpkin pie and pecan pie and we enjoyed a homemade French Silk pie and Apple pie made by Annabelle and myself. I wish we had a photo of those but trust me, they were good looking as well as tasty. Here is how how turkey and pork roast turned out.

Pork Roast - yum!

Brownie balls that Annabelle and I made in preparation for Thanksgiving. Sorry they didn't make it until Thursday, they were really good. Maybe we should not have taste tested. them.

Wow Mark did the cooking.. Impressive! Did you get a cake pop maker?

Yes, Mark likes to cook. Of course I keep an eye on things though. Again, yes!!! Annabelle and I picked up the cake pop maker at Bed Bath and Beyond. It was easy and fun to use. We can't wait to try it out on actual cake. When we made the brownies we made the cake type. YUMMY!
