Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Turkey Day Everyone!!!

Alas the day has come! Get ready to grab your fork and knives and sit around the table with friends and family and get a plate full of goodness. It's not only a day of delicious food but it's a day filled with appreciation and remembering why we celebrate this holiday.

Every Thanksgiving my family and I go to the local civic center in Santa Monica and we distribute food to the community. It feels good to contribute back and know that you are doing a good deed. There are many ways you can contribute. I know churches may be having activities or even a local non-profit like the Red Cross.You can also make food baskets or donate canned food for families in need. 

Speaking of food, one of the things that I miss from home is home-cooking. Instead of the old, traditional cooking of the turkey as the center piece, we make Pan con Pavo which is roast turkey with sauce. It is a Salvadoran recipe that will leave you wanting more. 

This is definitely something I need to learn how to make because it is DEEELIIISSSHH!!! If you have not tried this before, I suggest you should! Like my aunt says, "Don't say NO if you haven't tried it". 

Now that you know what my favorite Thanksgiving platter is...

What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
