A Holiday Miracle!

Hello everyone! It's been quite a while, hasn't it? For some reason, I have decided to make a post after such a very long time. Oh my dear Savor and Just, I miss them so!  Missed them so much I just had to do something that reminded me of them!

Haha so enough of the comeback talk. Let's get onto the food.

It would be safe to assume many people have tried Greek cuisine correct? Being so famous for their gyros and saganaki (flaming cheese). However, have you ever had Greek cuisine for Thanksgiving?

...me neither. So this was a great time to do it!

This Thanksgiving was a very strange one for me indeed. It was the first time I did not get to spend it with my immediate family since I am currently in good ol' Orlando doing an internship at Disney World. (Yes, it really has been a while and I have not updated you. I work for the Big Mouse, yes I do!)

For this holiday time, I spent it with the family I have made at work. I have met some great people and it was fate that brought us back to the restaurant that I work at for dinner. My home at Disney would be Kouzzina by Cat Cora. Yes, the famous female Iron Chef's restaurant! The food is amazing and well, of course during Thanksgiving they did not disappoint.

This was the Thanksgiving special that they offered. Filled with Turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet and regular mashed potatoes with brown butter brussels sprouts and stuffing! Of course I had to get the Disney signature lemonade with foam on the side. It topped it off well.  

The holiday dessert on the menu featured a pecan and cranberry tart topped with a scoop of pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin seed brittle. Honestly one of the best desserts I have tasted. I'm not usually a cranberry fan but the fresh ones in this dessert were really delicious. The ice cream was also delectable. It was hard not to say no even though I was ready to roll out of the restaurant! 

It was great spending time with the family that I have here and eating good food. Thanksgiving was a weird one for me this year but I cannot say it wasn't enjoyable. I remain grateful for everyone around me and although I've got some of the holiday blues from not seeing my family, I know that they will still always be there for me. 

This blue chick will be back again to write, hopefully. 

Hope everyone had a warm and bright Thanksgiving followed by some sweet Black Friday winnings. 

Happy Holidays! 

Love always,
