To me- Thanksgiving is all about being thankful & spending time with family. When I was little , I remember Thanksgiving as having a house full of family and always too much food! As the years went by & I got older , the house was not so full anymore - and I missed that. But this year We have the pleasure of having Thanksgiving at our home with my Dad, his girlfriend, and her daughter and of course me & Greg. And I am so excited about that!! I just wanted to take a moment to say I have SOOOO much to be thankful for - and I thank God for that. So, that being said- I wanted to share with you today a couple of recipes that take me back to my childhood (aka the good ole days).
Cocoa Gravy -
