Wow! It's been a while since my last update! Sorry about that folks, it's been a crazy November. I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving shared with friends and family. This Thanksgiving at my parents house was lots of fun but a ton of work. This year, my extended family was coming over as well, so cooking for over 20 people was going to be a mission, which required lots of prep work and planning. But in the end, it was all worth it and I was happy with the results. I have so many reasons to be thankful this year, I am appreciative of my family, friends and my life. Shout out to my sister Jenny for always helping me with my various cooking projects. She is the ying to my yang in the kitchen....
