Although Thanksgiving is not an observed holiday in the Dominican Republic, it has influenced the country, which recognizes it as a beautiful American custom to celebrate a day of gratitude and enjoy a special dinner with family. It's an ordinary work and school day here, which can make it slightly difficult for Americans who want to continue the tradition. However, many of us still manage to celebrate it and either bake a turkey with all the trimmings or at least a pumpkin pie to mark the occasion.
Living here has taught my family and me the importance of valuing what truly matters - giving thanks together as a family for dinner, regardless of the country, day, or meal on the table. It's also important to remember to pray for those who struggle to get their daily bread.
At home, we enjoy traditional American side dishes with a Latin-flavored baked turkey. Our table must-haves are corn pudding, biscuits, and cornbread dressing, accompanied by fresh vegetables. For dessert, we usually have apple pie, tres leches cake or bread pudding. The following recipes are suggestions for Thanksgiving Day, and for more recipes, you can click on the recipes categories at the right side of this blog.
I have taken the initiative to pre-bake an assortment of cakes, ensuring a delightful array for you to choose from. Additionally, I've crafted a convenient downloadable e-book titled "Holiday Cakes" – a must-have for anyone passionate about baking. Should you be aware of a fellow baking enthusiast, consider this e-book as the ideal gift. Simply input their email during the ordering process to seamlessly share the joy of baking.
Wishing you a happy and blessed day with your family and friends. Thank you for reading my blog and sharing my recipes. Happy Thanksgiving!
