Are you ready for Thanksgiving?

Once again, the holidays have crept up on us!  It seems as though we just experienced the ball come down on New Years Eve.  If you are like us, you are not ready for Thanksgiving!

This year, The Captain and I will be hosting our own Thanksgiving festivities.  We are actually very excited to cook all of our favorite dishes, along with some new ones.

Join us in researching the possibilities for new ideas and recipes for this holiday season.  The following list is a work in progress that I will continue adding links throughout the season.

Please refresh page if you are returning, so the new links will show up!

Happy planning!

Turkey Day Central

The Thanksgiving Day countdown is on!

It has been a very long time since I have had to prepare
 the Thanksgiving Day meal.  Back in the day, we always
 had an open house buffet for Thanksgiving and Christmas
 and I think I did enough holiday cooking for a lifetime!

I've compiled a list of excellent links for everything
 involving Thanksgiving and food inspiration.  

Of course, all of these links would be
 awesome for every day cooking.

Thanksgiving

The holiday season is upon us!  Seems like the other day our family got together for the yearly feast and here it is again.  The years have scattered family members all over the place, but we all come together for Thanksgiving to give thanks for everything we have been blessed with.

This year, The Captain and I will celebrate our first Thanksgiving as a married couple.  My wonderful husband is what I am most thankful for this year.  After spending way too many years alone as a grieving widow after being a wife for 20-something years, the good Lord so blessed me with the most perfect man for me.  He was worth waiting for and I am enjoying life once again!

As I've compiled the following list of Thanksgiving links, my hunger grows for turkey, ham, dressing, sweet potatoes and a number of delicious desserts that we typically eat on Thanksgiving.  The search goes on for something new and different for an appetizer.  Going through all these recipes is a form of torture!

Here's a list of some awesome Thanksgiving links to help you plan your family feast:
