Ro Made It!

Hey y'all!

How was your Thanksgiving? I hope it was great! Did you eat too much? I didn't (surprisingly). I was actually shocked at how much I DIDN'T eat. We had a small breakfast and then my family's agreed upon time to eat dinner was 1pm. I think we started eating at 2:30...they can never be on time.

It was so much faster and it tasted better than it usually does. I'm in love with my pressure cooker and would like another one. Anyone have one they want to give me?

Anyway, we had fun exploring the Canon Pixma printer and printing out photos and making cute little frames! But the food was really the star of the show! I'm going to link to all of the recipes because aside from small adjustments, none of them were my own!
