Yea, that was the best segway into me telling you what I did for thanksgiving. I don't have a personal recipe to share with you, just a few stories that can help you pass your time. What did you do for thanksgiving and what are you especially thankful for?
This year RJ and I stayed in and it was super fun. I made him wake up extra early and cheer me on at my 8k Turkey trot, whatta good guy. I finished in 45:43 which I am excited about since I didn't even think I would finish in 47 minutes. Yay for running! We came home and made a big breakfast - orange/coconut coffee cake, bacon, eggs and OJ (RJ also has a bagel.) Then we settled in to watch the Lions take on the Packers. As you know, I am a loyal Lions fan, and sometimes it's really hard to be dedicated to an inconsistent team, but every game I tune in, cheer and hope for the best. Thursday's game incase you missed, was a little rough... but there's always next time!
After the game we had prime rib, roasted potato's, rolls and salad - yummy! Dessert was pumpkin cheesecake, so easy and so simple. The recipe I used was one from Paula Deen. I used cinnamon graham crackers instead of regular ones for a special kick.
After dinner we relaxed until we took on Black Friday. I had never been shopping on Black Friday morning, it was kind of fun, but mostly it was fun because I found some super cute shoes at a ridiculous deal! How do you say no? - hint: you don't.
The rest of our long weekend has been pretty chill. I hope you had a fabulous weekend and I will get out a fabulous cupcake recipe soon oh and a funny story about my dog!
