This is a family recipe but what makes it so great is that this was the first time I made it this year and took it to Thanksgiving dinner. It is a Pyne recipe but I took it to the Hofheins side. I always love sharing family traditions with the other side and vice versa. It seems to bring both families together without actually coming together.
This year we had a very fun Thanksgiving. It was also very memorable because we played basketball after and it was the first time that Jake has really played since his surgery in 2008!!! I was so excited!
