With the World Cup game on in the background, we bustled around the house to make a yummy Thankgiving dinner in the middle of June.
Chefs
When Ryan’ grandma and her boyfriend arrived at Ryan’s mom’s house, we shared Brie and crackers, served with an adorable mouse-adorned knife.
Cheese & Crackers
Dinner
After munching on cheese ‘n’ crackers and hanging out for a while, we were ready to dig into the big meal.
Everyone piled their plates with Thanksgiving staples.
My Plate
I gotta say, Ryan’s mom and grandma sure can cook! I loaded up my plate and went back for seconds of almost everything.
Ryan’s mom followed Emeril’s recipe for caramelized sweet potatoes and they tasted like dessert.
Dessert
Though the sweet potaotes tasted like dessert, we still had to enjoy an actual dessert: lemon cake with vanilla ice cream.
Lemon Cake + Vanilla Ice Cream
Oh so sweet and oh so good.
I think Thanksgiving in June should be a tradition!

I’ll take Thanksgiving ANY month of the year! LOVE IT! I could go for some of that cake right now! YUM!! 😛
Oh-Em-Gee that mouse is precious! It makes me smile and not for my love of cheese 🙂
I’m not a huge fan of Thanksgiving-ish foods, and yet I still tend to overeat that time of year. I seem to always find something good!
What a cute idea!
I love thanksgiving in June! i just found canned pumpkin when I feel like these been a pumpkin drought after the holiday season. I think it may be better in June! No black friday crazy shoppers stampede to follow!
Ok, soo Thanksgiving REALLY needs to hurry up! I love the little cheese mouse 🙂
Since I’m not from U.s, thanksgiving is always fascinating to me 😀 I would definitely like to try the traditional food 🙂
