November Goals and TBB Asks

1. Have you ever kept a gratitude journal? Not officially, but I'm thinking I might start adding that to my journal soon. I think about at least 3 before bed though.

2. Hosting Thanksgiving at your house? I did it once like 3 years ago, for just me and my mom. It was disastrous, since the turkey wasn't fully defrosted by Thanksgiving morning. I think we ate it around 10pm. 

3. Favorite food from Thanksgiving? Mashed potatoes! I really like yams too, but not with that marshmallow stuff on top- I'm a purist. 

4. What one thing in nature are you most grateful for? Seasons. I know I always complain when it's cold, but I do appreciate the trees changing and snow (since I don't have to shovel it!) 

5. Pumpkin pie? YES! And one of the few things I can make easily! 

6. Traditional cookbook- yes or no? I've never had a traditional cookbook, but I do need to follow a recipe in order to cook just about anything. I've created my own "cookbook" from recipes I've printed out from Pinterest or around the web. 

7. Oven baked or deep fried turkey? I've never had deep fried turkey but I do love oven baked! 

8. Do you like Thanksgiving leftovers? YES! Not cold though. I like almost all leftovers but I've found some recipes to make with the leftovers, my favorite being "Thanksgiving" empanadas! 

9. What is one household product you are most grateful for? Oooh this one is tough. Probably my coffee maker since I *need* my coffee and use it every day. 

10. Are you most thankful for home cooked meals or restaurant meals? Home cooked! Restaurant meals are good, but there's nothing like the smells and comfort of a good home cooked meal.
