I’ve been to a few, I think it’s always been emo night brooklyn but with different DJs. It’s always a good time, sometimes they’re better than others though. Good crowd, pretty diverse age range, everyone’s just there to have a good time. Highly recommend especially if you can rope some friends into it!

I started following Cooks Illustrated's Instagram account this past week and I've already learned a lot, specifically that fully cooked turkey can still be pink and how to pick a good sweet potato.

I'm the queen of the side dishes for Thanksgiving. My favorites/once a year offerings are Sweet Onion Quiche. (I use the recipe and pour it in a pie shell.) Cranberry Salad and Slow cooker cornbread dressing.

We are getting the smoked turkey from ZZQ--so excited.

Here is a family recipe that we call "Thanksgiving Juice". My father who was an excellent cook, made his marinara sauce from scratch and loved good tasting things, concocted this beverage that pairs well with the turkey, potatoes, gravy, bread that needs some counterbalance.

Mix 1 can of frozen lemonade with the recommended water and 1 can of frozen grape juice with the recommended water.

That is all.

Way too sweet for me, but I would use it to mix into a glass of seltzer.

Ridiculous, but always a favorite.

I made Protein Cookies! Except I used real sugar, though cut it in half, and ran out of peanut butter and substituted half PB2 powder mixed with water, and you know what? They turned out incredible! Especially after being in the fridge, they're like delicious peanut butter fudge.

Macros were pretty great too for a pre or post workout treat at 290 calories/17g protein. Next time I would reduce the sugar a little more and use less chocolate chips to bring the calories down a little.
