What a fun Thanksgiving! We went to Alaska's house and enjoyed a Vegetarian Thanksgiving with her and her family. We ate garbanzo beans, pickled cabbage slaw, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, cranberry sauce, rolls, green bean casserole, carrots with parsnips, gravy, pumpkin pie, fruit cocktail cake and my grandmother's frozen banana punch! What a meal. We went home stuffed to the gills.
Although we missed being with our family's it was a fun change to a traditional holiday. We had so much fun hanging out with their fun family and enjoying one another's company. Who knows, maybe we'll rotate in a vegetarian holiday again.
**UPDATE**
So I've been pondering on the tradition and meaning of Thanksgiving and I've been especially grateful for it this year. Our lives have been so blessed with amazing food that Heavenly Father saw fit to have growing on this world. I am so grateful for another year of a bountiful harvest that we may all continue to eat, love, grow and learn about these amazing treasures. Thank you so much for the diversity of food that we have to chose from and enjoy.
