I love Thanksgiving.
I love the chance to reflect on all the good.
My husband. My children. My parents. My family. My friends.
I have so much to be thankful for…don’t we all?
And then there’s the food…
Oh, the food.
The musts at our house are turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, broccoli rice casserole, pumpkin pie…the rest can be interchangeable. So we may or may not do cranberry sauce some years, for example…but most likely, we will. Or we might do green bean casserole, but we also might skip it.
There is one more Must. It is something that might disgust you.
My grossest Thanksgiving tradition…
This is something that my Mama was always so gracious to let me do all these years. As a Mama, I’m not sure I would be as gracious…well, I do let Indigo eat the frosting off his cupcakes, so maybe I would be…but probably not.
OK, here it is. Do you get the feeling I’m stalling?
I am.
I love pecan pie. LOVE. IT.
There’s just this little problem I have with pecans.
I don’t like pecans.
However, the flavor of the pecan is good.
And with that filling, anything is so much more delicious, right?
So…I take a bite of pecan pie and then spit the pecans out…after thoroughly licking all the saltiness off the pecans…and any remnants of pie filling…
YUMMM.
It’s DELICIOUS.
Don’t judge.
Ha ha…love it! Girl, you crack me up!
So funny. Oh well, enjoy however you wish!
Are you and Jay related? He wanted to know if we can have pecan pie without the pecans?!

I’m so shocked!! I think it will take me an entire day to get over it too! LOLl We would make a good team, because I don’t necessarily like the ‘goo’, but I would want to dig out the pecans- myself. haha
I used to have a church make peanut brittle for me without the nuts. Filter them out in the pouroff, just give me the nut flavor.
haha love this.
They actually had that on KS95 this morning… grossest Thanksgiving tradition/food. One was White castle stuffing. They said it was delicious and people fell in love with it everytime wanting the recipe. I find that one hard to comprehend. lol
LOL! I love it! Happy Thanksgiving to the Sabin and Atkinson families!
Oh my gosh!! You. crack. me. UPPPPPPP!!! Seriously I am rolling! This is would love to see ~ spittin peecans and yes I meant to spell it that way! ;0)~
I adore you Lori Sabin….simply adore you!
Hahahahaha…….oh girl you fit us like a glove! Sanju just picks the pecans out and eats the rest. Vinay just wants to leave the pecans out. I think I’m the only one who actually eats them…….although I may not be able to this year with the image of you enjoying a slice in my head…I’ll pass on your tip to Sanju……..;)
My mom always made red velvet cake for Christmas. I never really liked it….UNTIL…I tasted the raw batter! Now that was delish…so every year mom would save me out a glass (yes a glass) full and I would drink it!
Did you ever hear the joke about the man sitting in a nursing home lounge eating nuts? Well, he discovered that he had nearly eaten all of them which he sheepishly admitted to the elderly lady sitting in a chair close by him. Oh don’t worry about it Sonny, she replyed, most of us around here don’t have teeth so we have already sucked the chocolate off them!!! Enjoy your pie! Just the way you like it!!!
hilarious! and you might be onto something with the raw red velvet cake batter, mmm!
