hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving!
even though it is healthier to have daily thanksgiving reflections, thanksgiving weekend helps you to really appreciate everything good that is around you! in my case, i had a lot that i am especially grateful for, as each and every member in my family had a very significant year this 2013

this thanksgiving was hosted at my house where all but one dish & store-bought desserts were prepared by us
one thing that was different was that i ended up cooking most of the dishes this year because i am now in culinary school (yeah...even though i am only 3-weeks in)!
i never use cranberry sauce but because it is thanksgiving, i wanted to try making cranberry sauce even though we weren't going to have a turkey |
cranberry orange sauce this was sooo easy to make yet turned out awesome because it had the right amount of sweetness with tanginess |
cranberry orange sauce more than with meat, i've been enjoying this sauce over my desserts |
shrimp ceviche this is a dish my mom loves & keeps requesting me to make! |
double bread stuffing with brown butter, bacon & sage |
kale with garlic we love veggies & kale is definitely one of those that we love eating when we eat meat for that slightly bitter taste |
green bean casserole with crispy onions |
simple recipe that will taste delicious at all times? it must be repeated every time... |
cream corn when done! we make this every year, but i wanted to make this ever since we thoroughly covered "roux" in class |
creamed spinach this...i made using an online recipe and even though i made some alterations after, ended up being my least favorite dish i created that night |
i like to add evoo/cinnamon/honey to my pineapples, especially if they are not as ripe as you had wished them to be |
pineapples, besides being delicious, helps aid digestion! so we like to include this whenever we have a lot of meat |
we used to do turkey but honestly, no one really loves that giant bird in our family so we opt for chicken (mainly drunk sticks) instead! |
prime rib rubbed with oil/garlic/salt/pepper |
