Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday ever. Cooking yummy food, eating yummy food, going into a yummy food comma, what can be better? Oh being married to a man that can cook, that's even better. So 20 lbs later I wanted to share my competition to the Cheesecake Factory. Compliments to Ms. Paula Dean, even though I had to alter it to spice it up.
