giving thanks for 2016

Thanksgiving holiday this year was another memorable long weekend with great company and good traditional food. We give thanks for the blessings of family and our special time with them. We always look forward to staying with my mother-in-law and enjoying her cooking. The turkey breast she baked this year turned out moist and very flavorful. The holiday table will not be complete without the best turkey dressing and other family favorites that she makes every year.

traditional food that we look forward to every year

Aside from the usual challah bread and dinner rolls, I also brought a sweet potato round challah version for my mother-in-law. The mashed sweet potato in the mix enriched the bread and gave it a deeper yellow color of the season. Leftovers were made into French toast the next morning :-)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
