ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday!
I HAVE to have turkey to make sandwiches for a couple of days. And other turkey dishes, but gotta have the sandwiches. So much so that I will make a turkey even if we go elsewhere for the meal.
ReplyDeleteI am currently obsessed with steel cut oatmeal and make it about once a week.
I will probably make a lot of leftovers this year, since we are having company I got a whole Turkey and not just the breast.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI use to get excited about Thanksgiving before my parents passed. It's not that exciting now that I have to do all of the work and they are not there... Have a great Holiday!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of dessert at your Thanksgiving! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm craving for Turkey right now
ReplyDeleteHope you can visit my Sunday Stealing
Any recipes you can share?
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about Thanksgiving dinner is the turkey and all the leftovers. Love your dessert pies, though we usually have pumpkin and banana cream.
