Thanksgiving has handed the Curry family a golden ticket to pause and breathe. After the whirlwind of the NBA, this was a much-needed break. With the court behind them and a feast ahead, it’s time to recharge and enjoy family life. Laughter echoes through the rooms as the Currys gather, swapping stories and sneaking bites from the kitchen. For Ayesha Curry, the holiday brought more than food—it sparked a small but meaningful realization.

Sometimes, even the perfect holidays bring unexpected truths. It all started with Stephen Curry‘s latest Instagram post. Steph standing beside Ayesha, who is carrying their newborn, Caius Chai, in a baby carrier. Their son, Canon, stood on the couch dressed in yellow and brown, like everyone else. The family photo, captioned “Happy day to give thanks from the Currys 🙌🏾,” is adorable and festive.

Ayesha Curry shared her husband’s post on her IG Story with a realization caption. It looks like after 13 years of marriage some facts have clicked to her on Thanksgiving. She wrote: “Grateful grateful grateful (Still trying to figure out how I’ve managed to have 4 kids at my young ripe age of 21)”

It’s true. When Mrs. Curry conceived Riley, the eldest daughter of the Curry household, she was 21. By the time the firstborn arrived in July 2012, Ayesha was 22. However, 21 or 22 is indeed a young and ripe age to become the engine of the family let alone have kids. But, look at Ayesha! Acing all her roles in style. Undoubtedly, the cozy holiday made her travel down memory lane, hence the sweet and astonishing realization.

Meanwhile, Ayesha Curry has also shared her special Thanksgiving recipe with the world. It’s safe to say, that Mama Curry is a culinary genius.

Ayesha Curry’s signature dish is the prime example of the ‘best of both worlds’

It’s that time of the year when the inner chef is unleashed at its best. Meanwhile, Ayesha is a chef herself, so you can expect some grand meals coming out of her kitchen this Thanksgiving. The 35-year-old entrepreneur recently shared her exclusive recipe for Umami Mac n Cheese. A dish that comes from her cookbook The Full Plate (Voracious, 2020). The recipe is a pure culinary art, to begin with. Mrs. Curry prefers adding crab meat to bring in those sweet, savory flavors that you could even say enhance the traditional American favorite- Mac n Cheese.

When it comes to whipping up magic in the kitchen, Curry knows how to keep it simple yet sensational. No need to scour specialty stores—she grabs medium-shell pasta, melts a mix of Asiago and Parmesan cheese, and adds a sweet chili sauce zing. Sounds heavenly, right? Now, here’s the kicker: toss in some succulent crab meat, and voila! You’ve just elevated your taste buds to gourmet heaven. It’s proof that with the right ingredients, deliciousness is always on the menu!

And amidst the chaos and coziness, Ayesha’s sweet realization of her 21-year-old self reminds us how life, much like her recipes, is a perfect mix of surprises and sweetness. The Currys truly know how to serve up gratitude in style.
