F: If you haven’t already ordered yourself a copy, you absolutely should!! Like I said, this book is LOADED with fantastic holiday recipes for an entire calendar year, and each page is infused with Ree’s bubbly personality and humor.

Thanksgiving brings everyone home to swish through the autumn leaves lining the sidewalk to the front door and entering to a plethora of wonderful smells and a lot of love and sharing.

The potatoes look great. I love potatoes cooked anyway. My dad used to slice them on a meat slicer & them deep fry them. Homemade potato chips!!! OMG they were so good. I don’t have a meat slicer. But they are my grandkids favorite thing. I have to make them no matter what the holiday or get together is. Even for ThankGiving & Xmas. Do you know how hard it is to slice potatoes that thin? I asking Santa for a slicer….

I would love to win this cookbook but, if I don’t, I will purchase it.
I am looking forward to trying out all of these pie recipes that I am finding online! I will be testing out Ree’s pumpkin cream pie and I also found a Sweet potato pie that I will be tackling at the same time. Perfect time to utilize one of my favorite Fall harvests into something sweet and tasty for the whole family (who will be my guinea pigs). Wish me luck~
