We’ve got FIVE incredible co-hosts My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and me for another Fit Five Friday link-up!
I love Thanksgiving. My favorite thing about it is being with family. The food, not so much. I am not a big fan of turkey. I’ll eat it but it isn’t my favorite. I do like the corn, corn bread, and mashed potatoes. That’s it.
So, what have I eaten on Thanksgiving?
• Tamales. Those are popular during Christmas. There are a variety of them but I prefer the green ones with chicken. My cousin is planning to make them for Thanksgiving.
• Pollo enchilado. As I mentioned above, I am not a big fan of turkey. I prefer chicken. Add chile and it is ever better! It does look like a turkey, right?
• Pozole. There is a place close to my house that makes it really good too in all 3 colors – white, red, and green – and they’re all delicious.
• Mole. It doesn’t look tasty but it is delicious. Mole is my mother’s favorite meal. She is always telling me that we should make mole. A few years ago I learned to make it thanks to my mother.
• Chinese food, hamburgers, hot dog, etc. No pictures but you get the idea.
So that is my Thanksgiving menu. Yes, eating food is part of Thanksgiving, but to me it is more important being together with family. I don’t need the turkey, gravy, corn bread, and everything else that goes with a Thanksgiving dinner.
