Tikka Masala Meat Pie Thanksgiving Leftovers

Hope you had a lovely meal with your loved ones over thanksgiving. My family and I spent it together at my mother's house where we were surrounded by plates and dishes of food. Needless to say, there were many to-go plates. I'm always thankful during this time of year, and even though Thanksgiving hasn't always been a part of my culture; I always like to take some time of reflection around this time of year.

So many amazing, and crazy events have taken place this year but we've all managed to make it through. As we all celebrate this time of the year, let's take time to reflect on ourselves and where we are currently. If you are able to celebrate a year in good health, with clothes on your back, food on your table, and a roof over your head...You have made it! I realize as I see the headlines everyday, from stories happening around the world and even here in "the land of the free", I realize how lucky I am. All my worries and current struggles feel small, so I humble myself and give thanks!

Fleming's Steakhouse Thanksgiving Leftovers Recipe + Giveaway

Fleming's Steakhouse Executive Chef Russell Skall has been fortunate enough to share some lovely leftover Turkey recipes just in time for the big day. After looking at all of them, I was immediately drawn to his Turkey Fried Rice recipe because I love fried rice...duh! The recipe is super easy and calls for items that you probably already have in your pantry, or that you can easily grab on a quick run to the grocery store.

Fleming's will be hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year, with an affordable four-course menu, featuring their Herb Roasted Turkey Breast with a savory gravy. The prix fixe menu will be $39.95 for adults, and $19.95 for children. In addition, this weekend only, the restaurant will offer all wines on their 100 wine list at $10 per glass...Hello happy hour with the siblings and cousins!

Pumpkin Pie Popsicle Recipe

This whole month of November, I decided to take part in a gratitude challenge on Facebook. Everyday around lunch time, I posted about 1 thing in my life that I was thankful for.

Even on days when I was feeling unlike myself, I made sure to post one thing that I was thankful for. It's pretty interesting because, by doing that my mood and view automatically changed. I got into an accident just a few days before Thanksgiving. But my heart decided not to let my head win, by focusing on the positive. Instead of saying why me, I Thank God. Sometime we let the bad outweigh the good, or praise the bad over good. But there are far better things in life than negativity.
