We’re now a week closer to Thanksgiving than we were before! Everybody seems to forget about Thanksgiving and skip right to Christmas after Halloween, but that is not the case for me! Thanksgiving is easily my favorite holiday and the bigger the get-together, the bigger the feast! I love huge Thanksgiving dinners with the whole family. It’s not often that everyone is found in the same room together, so when we get moments like these in our families we should take it all in and be thankful for all the love that surrounds us during this time of year. Food always seems to bring people together, it’s one thing everyone has in common no matter how different we all are. Here’s a delicious dessert recipe for you pumpkin lovers out there, it’ll surely be a favorite amongst the family!
