Today was my parents’ 20th anniversary⁠—what better opportunity to #GiveThanks?

I am thankful for my parents and the family they have raised over the last twenty years.

My siblings were too, so us kids took the day to transform our house into a five-star restaurant. We served a three course meal to our parents⁠—first, a Greek salad and freshly baked rolls. The main course was a filet mignon on roasted garlic mashed potatoes with sauteed mushrooms and asparagus. Finally, for dessert, we made a strawberry galette with French vanilla ice cream.

I am also grateful that I had the energy to be able to plan and cook this meal. Our family had a great time, and hope to have many more.
