Food Coma Adventures

November 24, 2009

Happy almost Thanksgiving!

This past Sunday, my friends and I celebrated an early Turkey Day feast at our house.

The meal included all of the hearty fixings and much more.

We had a buffet style set up for the food.

My “Food Coma“: Green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, creamed corn, ham, and turkey with gravy.

Pumpkin Pie- Yum!

For dessert, I made a Heath Bar Cake.

The recipe can be found here.

Tomorrow, my mom is driving up to Gainesville with my golden retriever, Sammie. :)   We’re then going to head over to a campground near the Suwannee River for the rest of the week. I’m so excited because the towns surrounding the river are basically my second home.

My grandpa used to own a house right on the Suwannee, but he sold it about a year ago because the payments were getting too high. When he told my family and I that he was selling the old house, it was one of the saddest things I’ve ever had to deal with. We’d been visiting the “river house” ever since I was born. Thinking about all of the memories and adventures our family had shared there, made the reality of his decision extremely difficult to accept.

Needless to say, I’m very excited to swing on our rope swing and revisit our old stomping grounds. :)

Have a wonderful week with your families! Be sure to check out my latest College Lifestyles post: “It’s Thanksgiving.. But What Shall I Wear?

    What a fun event! My brother just had one of those with his friends in college… it’s so nice to be able to celebrate the holidays with your “other” family. :)

    Have a wonderful time at the campground. I can’t even imagine what it was like to leave those memories behind, but it’s wonderful to even have had those experiences!
