Happy Thanksgiving Alexis and family! We all miss you but glad you have your other half of the family to celebrate your favorite holiday with! Granny and I are shaking it up this year with a new recipe for her candied yams and for my mashed potatoes. I’ll report back on how it goes! I know we are a family of “don’t mess with traditions” but sometimes it is fun to try something new! I hope your pies are fabulous! 💕

Ooo I can’t wait to see your spread! If you break open the spicy pickles send a pickle salute my way!! Can you bring me a jar in your luggage?!

That's a "hell of a lotta pies," as Vaughn says! Can't wait to hear how they turn out! I made a pumpkin spice pie and we'll do Ina's apple crostata as well. And my 6 year old requested something chocolate so I made him some Christmas cookies :)

Thanks as always for the lovely book reccs. I can't wait to scour my parent's small town library for these! Also, have you read Oh No, the Aunt's Are Here! by Adam Rex?? So apropos for gathering season! It made me and my 4 year old laugh out loud! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Alexis! So grateful for you and Library Stax!!

Also, did you love that video? I’ve watched it twice and might watch it a few more times! Watching it with my 5 year old was great, he was reminding me about parts while we made the citrus curd and the crust!
