I love spending time with my family! We had a really great Thanksgiving weekend and I’m so sad it’s over. As with any vacation, it went by way too quickly. We don’t make our own Thanksgiving feast, but were lucky enough to be invited to friends. We had a great time (and great food)!
For Shabbos we did our own Thanksgiving themed meal, which was absolutely delicious. It was similar to what we made last year, but due to time constraints we weren’t able to make everything we had planned for. It also didn’t help that the supermarket didn’t have any more fresh cranberries for our cranberry sauce!
Although after the fact, here’s what we had for Shabbos:
Friday night:
- Turkey legs
- Stuffing
- Candied sweet potatoes
Shabbos lunch:
- Honey chicken (freezer)
- Zucchini kugel (freezer)
- leftover stuffing
Dessert was the best part of our meal- DH made pumpkin pie with whipped cream. The kids loved eating the whipped cream and it was so nice to watch them really enjoy themselves. It’s also great that Shabbos starts early now, so we can really enjoy a family meal.
B”h I have so much to be grateful for!
How was your Thanksgiving?
Until next time,
Shaindy
