 Who’s ready to get their Thanksgiving on! Get ready for a TON of fab Thanksgiving recipes, starting with these Garlic Roasted Potatoes, right here on What’s Gaby Cooking!
Omg you guys! We have so much to talk about today. First, Happy Monday!!
A: How on earth is it already November?
B: Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Being the obsessively organized person I am, I have already planned my entire menu. (I did it in September) It’s going to be epic, and I’ll be sharing all the recipes here, well before the big day, so you have plenty of time to plan your menu too!
C: One of my all-time favorite people, Ree from The Pioneer Woman, just came out with her latest cookbook and I spent the entire weekend drooling over every recipe. It’s called The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays: 140 Step-by-Step Recipes for Simple, Scrumptious Celebrations and I’ve decided that I’m inviting myself over to her house for every holiday from here on out. Christmas, New Years, Valentine’s Day, Easter… you name it… all of her holiday menus are out of this world!
D: In honor of Ree’s gorgeous new book, she is offering up  3 signed copies!! Boooyah! We’re kicking off Monday with a bang.
E: I made a batch of her Garlic Roasted Potatoes yesterday and proceeded to fight my husband over who got the last bite. They are game changers – that is for sure!
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. I’d like to jump right in and live somewhere between Christmas and 4 of July!

FAMILY!!! (and good food)
I am looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with my brother & his family. We usually have a small dinner on Thanksgiving, my husband & I, and occasionally we go to my daughter’s. This will be a special day because my daughter, her boyfriend, along with my brother and 5 of his six children & their families will all be there. Growing up we always had large family dinners at our home or my aunt’s home so this will be so much fun.
I’m looking forward to spending time with my family and of course Mom’s good cooking!

I am looking forward to spending time with my family….but let’s face it, what I am really looking forward to is the roasted bird and stuffing. My mouth is already watering!!
The smell of all good things cooking!
I look forward to having my family together again as one member has been out of state for a long time and is finally home! Love it.
This Thanksgiving we will be hosting my husband’s side of the family. It’s so nice to have everyone here for a change! We have a child with special needs, and its just easier to do things here instead of dragging all of his things with us. He’s more comfortable here and we have plenty of room for everyone, too. We love hosting the get-togethers!

My best friend and I always celebrate the holidays together and this year, Hanukah is on Thanksgiving and since he’s Jewish, we’ll be having a double whammy celebration.
