Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m spending today in Iowa with my family. Doug and the kids flew in earlier this week, and Maya, Tony and Meena and her family are joining us for dinner later today.

I feel so lucky to be able to take a pause from the campaign trail and spend time with my family doing my favorite thing: cooking a family dinner.

I’m sure you’re already preparing the bird (or ordering the takeout), but I wanted to share one of my favorite dishes that makes for a great morning-after Thanksgiving breakfast.

They’re my mother’s bacon-fried apples. She used to make these for Maya and me if we hadn’t been up to too much trouble.

Fry up some chopped bacon, add sliced apples (and a splash of bourbon if you like). Then, add nutmeg to taste.

I never got my mother to divulge exactly how much nutmeg she used -- you could rarely get her to give up a family recipe -- but just a dash should do it. Then, serve over pancakes or waffles.

I wish you and your family much joy and love this Thanksgiving.

All my best,

— Kamala
