One more week!

For the first time since being in PA school, I have free time! I don't have any tests before Thanksgiving break and I hardly know what to do with myself! I made some soup, played guitar, watched Big Daddy, played some more guitar until my fingers hurt, and now I'm at a loss for what to do next except go to bed....and I'm completely at peace with that! However, I'm afraid that all of this free time will only make the time between now and being home-sweet-home feel much longer than I would like. I am already planning my contributions to the Thanksgiving feast....

First and foremost, my absolute, most favoritest dish in the entire world - sweet potato casserole:

I'm pretty sure I could make an entire Thanksgiving meal of this dish alone, but since it's not Thanksgiving without turkey and stuffing, I also found this recipe that I can't wait to try - mushroom and rosemary stuffing:

I'm generally not a huge fan of stuffing (gasp!), but I'm hopeful that this fun twist on a traditional recipe will change my mind. And then to top things off, I simply MUST have the best apple pie on the face of the earth. It's granny's special recipe and you'll never taste an apple pie to rival it. Mmmmm....I can't wait!

Of course during all this gluttony, I will be so very thankful to be surrounded by my amazing family. It's crazy how being 5 hours away at PA school makes me appreciate my time with them more than ever. I can't wait to be home. :)
