Happy Thanksgiving

Just like any other Filipino family, we always find a reason to celebrate and have the family and friends get together and have a good time. That's why not so long ago, my family started celebrating Thanksgiving! I remember the first time we attempted our first Thanksgiving but our cook got it wrong so we ended up having a barbecue instead of the traditional turkey dinner. Felt more like 4th of July minus the fireworks haha!

But as the years passed, our family has been able to have really successful Thanksgiving dinners complete with all the trimmings. So this year Im sharing with you how our family celebrates Thanksgiving.

Since Car's still in the States and celebrated Thanksgiving over there with my aunt and cousins, our family had the Antolin's and Tito Jun over for the celebration.

The star of the show..the TURKEY

My plate of Turkey, Mashed Potatoes and Winter Vegetables

Mom's Famous Cheesecake

She tried a new thing by actually incorporating mango bits inside the cheesecake and using this new crust recipe instead of the usual graham cracker one that made this cheesecake have a lighter taste and feel.

It was a really great night to get together with good people, catch up, and be thankful for what we have received the past year! Even though it's not a very popular holiday here at home, it's definitely one of my favorites!
