thanksgiving was very low key this year which i thoroughly enjoyed. we spent the day with kyle's family, the boys went to the LAST AND FINAL (dun dun dunnnn!!!) UT vs. A&M game and were gone most the day. i haven't been in the cooking mood lately but woke up thanksgiving morning determined to whip up something for the feast.
i found the most amazing pumpkin pie recipe at apartment therapy's the kitchn site, it is literally to die for. it tastes like heaven mixed with vanilla.
Recipe here: Pumpkin Chiffon Pie
sadly i didn't document the pie very well, but here is one picture i got
i also made No Bake Nutella Peanut Butter Cookies
definitely another one for the books. they taste like reeses with a hint of hazelnut. to. die. for.
i also decided to make a fresh greek salad to add some crispness and health to the meal and roasted some veggies for another side option. it was nice to relax and cook for a few hours and watch the macy's parade.
stella had a great time at brad and michele's house, i always joke that they should charge admission to their house because they literally have any toy a kid would want. stella and william had some good bonding time. here are a few pics
the next day we headed to kyle's family's house on the san bernard river for some R&R with the brinkks. it turned into a cold and rainy weekend, which i was so thankful for. we watched movies (lost of jane austen flicks) and cooked and ate and ate and ate. it was such a good weekend.
had to make a quick pitstop in lake jackson because kyle forgot his guitar. and yes, we braved best buy on black friday...
