so, i got to make my first from scratch carrot cake for our Thanksgiving gathering. i also tried a no-bake cheesecake recipe my mom gave me. it was a lot of fun! the carrot cake recipe was for a three layer cake, but i decided to make it up this way and it was huge and heavy.
i also had the privilege to make up a cheeseball! it was a tweaked recipe from what is available here. and got to make up some mashed potatoes to share. let's just say it was an all out Thanksgiving bash!
below is a photo of my plate--yummy teamwork, aye?
we had another Thanksgiving gathering the Saturday after and I volunteered to make the green bean casserole. i got maybe 2 or 3 kilos of green beans for this batch. i also made up my own fried onions and cream of mushroom soup. i am definitely learning a lot about cooking from scratch! fun!
so, it wasn't all about the food: i got to meet this sweet little lady and even hang out with her. she is adorable, right? :)
i hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving holiday celebrating with your family and friends. there is just so much to be thankful for isn't there?
