Thankful

With Thanksgiving a week away, I have so much to be thankful for! I could write forever about what I am thankful for but my blog is about food and eating so I will stick to that. BUT, I do have to say, along with all of my tremendous family and friends, I am thankful for my amazing husband. I am SO thankful that he does the dishes every single day. He does much more than that of course, but after a long day of work, working out (sometimes) and cooking a meal (most of the time), the last thing I want to do is the stupid dishes and I am sure that is the last thing he wants to do too. But he still does it, and does not complain one bit. He is simply amazing and I don't know how I got so lucky. Enough of the mush.

This is what I have been up to in the kitchen...

Chicago Dogs - I love hot dogs so much so I decided to take a swing at homemade chicago dogs. They were good but not great. I would definitely eat it again, but they just weren't authentic enough for us. Courtesy of: For the Love of Cooking

Chicken Corn and Potato Chowder - I made this soup for Bryan, his mom Lee, and I the other night and it turned out pretty well. It is very starchy of course but tasted okay. I had it for leftovers and added my favorite hot sauce and it made it better!! Courtesy of: Cook Like a Champion

Oreo Cheesecake Cookies - These were good and tasted like something you have never eaten before. I can't really describe it but they were delicious. You will just have to make them and try for yourself. My were a little flatter than what is shown in the picture. Courtesy of user multiplydelicious on Tasty Kitchen

Other updates.....we recently got back from our cruise in the Bahamas and it was a blast! We ate the ENTIRE time and it was fabulous. :) We also had our second pizza team meeting. We visited Pizzology in Carmel and it was very good! The pizza was made in a 800 degree brick oven and had somewhat of a smoky flavor. It was different but good!

I am currently travelling for work so won't have any new recipes until next week. :( Thanks for reading!
