cousins close by ! For the past 4 years we have hosted Thanksgiving at our house. We love to do it to because it is so nice to have family come out our way . This year imparticular Jake took charge of the Turkey recipe. He about died when I suggested buying a turkey breast from Honey Baked Ham company. He insisted that he will never forgoe the traditional Turkey. I personally am not a huge Turkey fan. I am more into the creamed corn and Honey Ham ( Johnson Family Traditions), so those were a must ! But I have to say, in the end Jake was right. He found a fabulous recipe on all recipes website and it was SO EASY . All it required was a few large apples quartered , a whole bottle of Martinellis sparkling cider ( it called for champagne but we improvised )and a couple sticks of butter cubed. It makes for a very moist turkey. It is a keeper of a recipe.
After chowing down on good food topped off with my traditional Pumpkin Chocolate chip bars ( no pumpkin pie here - YUCK !) we took the kiddos to the park conveniently located two doors down at the end of our cul-de-sac. We had a great time chasing the kids around and enjoying some fresh fall air. It is always a good time with Monica and Joaquin around .
