Every Thanksgiving since about 2012, my older sister and I would wake up really early just to kind of clean up the house, arrange some things around, oh and also take the elements that we will be using for the meal out of the refrigerator. We start off by taking out the chicken breasts, smoked sausage, shrimp, crab legs, crawfish and marinate each of the items into different bowls, making sure to avoid cross contamination. After doing so, we wrap the bowls with Ziploc plastic wrap and place them back into the refrigerator.

Adding a tad bit more oil to the pan just enough for us to cook the crawfish with.
Checking on the pasta, and watching the crawfish cook we add in the mint leave to the pan and stir them together reducing the temperature on the stove from a high to a medium low so the leaves wouldn’t over cook. Placing the pasta into a container eliminating the pasta water from the actual pasta we start to combine each of the items into one huge pot. Now to my favorite part, adding the chicken Alfredo sauce to the party and mix every ingredient together.
Setting the table and placing the sharing’s onto every seat making sure everyone has enough to eat. I take the apple ciders from the freezer and share among everyone. Saying a prayer and doing a toast is the best part of it all. Hoping everyone’s thanksgiving was as special as mine.
Happy
