Terrific Turkey Dinner
One of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions from my childhood was getting up early to help my mom prepare all the food. We’d spend hours in the kitchen chopping vegetables, assembling casseroles, prepping the turkey (one in the oven and one on the grill), and baking pies. We would clean up and get ready for the day while everything was baking in the oven, then we’d wait for company to arrive. It was the best! This year, I’m thinking of changing the plan. Why not do something a little simpler and less time consuming so we can enjoy each other’s company and spend the day with family?

Turkey Time
With a little over a week to go, Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. Are you ready? I’m in full planning mode.

A Thanksgiving Feast
I look forward to Thanksgiving every year. Not just for the delicious feast, but because it’s a time to get together with family and friends. For some it’s also about football and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which I too enjoy. I’ve put together a handful of my favorite recipes and ideas you can use to host the perfect Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving. What’s a party without some appetizers? Two of my favorite appetizers for Thanksgiving are Cranberry Crescent Bites and Brie and Apple Crostinis. I think they are sweet and savory but also a little salty. Both fit the holiday theme, are easy to make, and can feed a crowd. The recipes can be found below. Cranberry Crescent Bites Brie and Apple Crostini I’m a huge fan of sangria so I like to make a big batch of Cranberry Sangria to … Continue reading
