Sunday Steal...
1. Are You Celebrating Thanksgiving At Home Or Elsewhere This Year? With Whom Will You Spend Thanksgiving Day?
Justin and I will be celebrating Thanksgiving at my parents' house this
2. What Do You Have For Breakfast On Thanksgiving?
Same thing I have every other day of the year. Tea or coffee.
3. Do You Go To A Thanksgiving Parade Or Watch One On TV?
Neither. I watch The Godfather (1972) all day long.
4. Do You Serve Appetizers, Lunch Or Snacks During The Day?
My mom typically has big bowls of fruit and nuts out and we pick on other random things.
5. What Do You Wear On Thanksgiving?
Comfy clothing. It's normally just my parents, sister and I so we try to be comfy but with makeup on because my sister and I love Instagram.
6. What's Your Thanksgiving Table Like -- Do You Use Special Plates/Silver/Glasses, etc? Do You Have A Centerpiece? A Color Scheme? Candles?
My mom might throw a tablecloth on the table but that's really it. Like I said, it's typically just the four of us.
7. Do You Serve Buffet-Style Or Family-Style? What Do You Have To Drink?
Family style.
8. Once You're At The Table, Do You Say Grace Or A Toast Or Does Everyone Go Around And Say What They're Thankful For?
None of those things.
9. Do You Have Dessert Right After The Main Meal Or Later On?
Later on. We digest a little and then go to town on dessert.
10. What Do You Do With Your Leftovers?
My mom makes stuff with it, like turkey pot pie. I'm honestly not a huge fan of the Thanksgiving menus because I don't eat turkey, etc.

Cookin' Librarian: Cranberry Almond Muffins...
I mentioned in the Sunday Social post from this weekend that one of the family traditions that we have in my house is my mother, sister and I baking all the desserts the night before Thanksgiving. One of those desserts is the Taste of Home Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake (I make muffins instead of the cake) and I thought I'd share the recipe with all of you because I love it.

- 1/2 cup almond paste
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 3 eggs
- 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour, divided

- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-1/4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- In a small bowl, cream almond paste (grate it into the bowl), butter and 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy. Add two eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine 1 cup flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture. Beat in the remaining egg and flour. Stir in extracts. Gently fold in cranberries.
- Spoon batter out into lined muffin/cupcake tins and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 325° for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Sunday Social Thanksgiving Style...
Favorite Thanksgiving Memory?
I don't have one in particular. We don't have people over for Thanksgiving really, so it's normally uneventful. I mean, my mom cooks a full Thanksgiving meal every year and we eat but that's really it.
Favorite Thanksgiving Food?
It's a tie between mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce.
What Is A Thanksgiving Tradition You & Your Family Have?
Thanksgiving Eve every year my mother, sister and I bake all of the desserts for the next day. We make pumpkin pie, apple pie, pudding pie, apple walnut cake and cranberry almond muffins.
Favorite Thanksgiving Picture From Years Past...
I couldn't actually find any other Thanksgiving pictures aside from these from last Thanksgiving. Lame, I know.
What Are You Most Looking Forward To About This Thanksgiving?
I honestly don't even know if we're going to have Thanksgiving this year because of the damage Hurricane Sandy did to our house. So, I don't know...
