{my mom's famous cinnamon rolls, which are technically sticky buns but we didn't know that until we were older so we call them cinnamon rolls}
My sister and her family are visiting us for Thanksgiving and I cannot wait! It's going to be great for many reasons, but one thing I'm looking forward to is cooking together. My entire family likes to cook and try new recipes, but Thanksgiving is about the classics. When my sister and I talk on the phone, we've planned all of our family favorites. I don't cook these foods normally (especially not since Whole30!) so I'm looking forward to eating my childhood favorites.
My only concern is how we're going to cook all the food in my kitchen! Most of it needs to be in the oven at the same time, so I'm getting creative about alternate heating sources like the crockpot. It's going to be a juggling act to get all of our dishes cooked and serve them warm, but hopefully I'm up for the challenge. :)
I've made some things ahead of time, like the cinnamon rolls pictured above. But I'm excited to have a full kitchen on Thanksgiving, even if it's hectic. I love having my family around and making memories in the kitchen and around the table.
What's your favorite Thanksgiving side dish? I'm looking forward to Kentucky spoon bread which I haven't had in YEARS!
