: : Thanksgiving weekend has officially started. For .
Iz. and I it means 4 days off together, nothing big planned, no big family gatherings, just time together at home. We'll attempt to re-upholster our couch [I'll share before and after pics], relax, hike, watch movies....but what we're most excited about is doing a lot of cooking. Thanksgiving is the holiday for enjoying food, but that doesn't mean turkey to us. We've got a lot of recipes on our list, I'd like to make Lena
Corwin's delicious
pumpkin cranberry bread again, and maybe some new recipes from the
Jamie Oliver cookbook I got for my birthday. And the pumpkin gnocchi by
.delicious days. sounds original and still appropriate for the season. We will also be testing some new drinks with our meals; caipirinha's are a family favorite, and the
christmas caipirinha version in one of
Bon Appetite's. latest issues sounds like an delicious variation. Happy eating!!
