It's That Time of Year Again ^_^

Holiday Eats

3 Layer Cake: Butterpecan, Strawberry, Red Velvet

Psalm 75:1...It's that time of year again, where we don't regret what we eat. Who diets during the holidays and is ok with themselves, that's lame? -_- If there's any season you need to reconsider your diet plan, it's the holidays. Gluttony is taken place during Thanksgiving and Christmas even when you know you can't finish your plate; the fact that ALL of this food is surrounding you, I say eat like it's your last meal. Thanksgiving is the probably my favorite holiday in my house. We wouldn't live without my mom's cornbread dressing and we wouldn't let her rest without making a large batch. I can only speak from my own experience but like any other loyal child I defend my mom's undefeated title of "Best Cornbread Dressing." Until you've experienced such greatness you would understand. That post will be apart of Thanksgiving post later on this week, rather not spoil the glory.

Every Thanksgiving, it never fails, I have a new idea to make and more groceries to buy whether we have a crowd or not. I love the holidays though; it helps me become a little more and more creative. For instance I bake a cake every year but it's always a boring cake. I'm not the best baker but I will make any Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines look appetizing LOL! For instance I took a random idea from the top of my head and purchased 3 boxes of cake mix with some of my favorite flavors like butter pecan, red velvet, strawberry, and made a cream cheese frosting enough to coat the cake. All you needed was 3 cake pans whether it's square or circle and separate each cake. After it's done baking and cooled, slice the slight hump it may have at the top of the cake so when you're ready to stack each cake on top, the cakes will be on a flat surface. Frosting wasn't hard, you don't have to make it from scratch either that's the fun part about baking. Everything is made already so don't be afraid to buy cream cheese frosting or any frosting of your choice. It's the same thing. Frost in between and all around the cakes and VOILA! Please frost ONLY when cakes are cooled, your cake will look like it's been sweating if it's even a tad bit warm -_-

I have leftover ideas for those that don't know what in the hell to do with all that Thanksgiving food. Holiday food at most times taste better the day after, some people are sleep to truth! Thanksgiving eggrolls filled with dressing and turkey and cranberry sauce for dipping? Check my posts in the next couple of days to see what I'm talking about, it'll most definitely blow your mind. Leftovers is so cheap to make, at least for me it is since we have probably 3 days worth of Thanksgiving food.

Thanksgiving 2013
 

I don't know if I'm more excited about my family or the food. We cook and just reflect on life during this awesome time. There's so much glory on food during the holidays. Besides my family, I'm thankful for God giving my mom and I the gift of cooking. You ever go to somebody's house and attempt to try their food and you wonder why they would embarrass themselves? :| Yes, there are people with no shame and the funniest part is they're so quick to offer a plate to you with no disregard if you'll vomit or not LMAO! Cooking is an art or gift that everyone was not blessed with so if your mom/grandma can go hard in the kitchen BE THANKFUL! God bless!
