Time to bake!

Sam and I are finally out of our home on base. We feel such a sense of freedom living off base! It's nice to finally own our first home! We have our military inspection in a few hours. I hope it goes well!

All my bakeware has been packed away for the past week or so. I feel a baking withdrawl. I need to see some sugar and eggs whipped! I must melt butter and stir in cocoa! If I don't, I think I shall perish in the fires of a sweetless world.

Thanksgiving is just a few days away! Do you have all your food bought? Sam and I will be doing a simple at home meal. I hadn't planned on going to anyone's home. I just want to have a simple non-turkey meal at home and enjoy the company of my husband. Usually we go back to Kansas or we spend time with friends. This year, however, I'd really like to just spend time with Sam.

We haven't been alone for any holidays. I'd like to establish some traditions for just Sam and I, my little family!

Please tell me you've heard of turducken? The best Thanksgiving meal I've had was a turducken meal with a friend of Sam's. A chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey. It's divine.

Though I doubt we'll be having turducken this year, I'd like to take a stab at it next year.

What shall I make in lieu of the traditional Thanksgiving meal? I'm thinking pizza or nachos. All the same, I'd like to bake something sweet in my new home! Perhaps a pumpkin cheesecake? Maybe a chocolate peanutbutter cake?

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
