Sunday afternoon after Thanksgiving..I feel like I can begin to talk about food again (but still in sugar detox). This past week my family celebrated what my family started calling Thankmas (or Chrisgiving) a one two holiday punch of Thanksgiving on Thursday and Christmas on Friday since we alternate holidays among families. Among the great traditional feast of the usual trimmings, one of my sisters planned a baking activity of making baklava. I have eaten this treat many times but have never made it before. Some of the things I learned: 1. Plan a lot of time. We had 4 people working and it took about 2 hours start to finish. 2. You don't have to put just walnuts in it. We used a combination of walnuts, almonds, and pistachios. 3. It is true. You do have to keep the filo dough moist. 4. The time and effort is so worth it! Here is the baklava recipe we used. Happy Thankmas!!
