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 just love cooking the turkey and stuffing with hazelnuts and apples. Yummy!!
I can’t wait for my house to be filled with family and the smell of a turkey cooking!
Blackberry wine cake is my favorite. Would love to win
Mashed potatoes! And green bean casserole and stuffing š I can’t wait!
I really love the pumpkin pie!
Definitely it’s a combination of spending quality time with family and all of the traditional foods – turkey, dressing, gravy, etc.
This is my favorite time of year. I am so thankful for all the wonderful people in my life and all of us gathering to share a feast. We cook together over several days and I cherish each of those moments creating special memories with my family. We always read the thanksgiving prayer my daughter, who is now 27 wrote when she was 9 and we talk about what we are grateful for. The best day of the year always for me!
I will be enjoying the fact Im not cooking !!! (not till Christmas anyway…LOL)
And loving family and my friends… :))
Thanksgiving to me means family and FOOD!
I am looking forward to pie!
I love my stuffing that I make that was the way my mother made it. Brings back memories of her. She’s been gone for 10 years and I miss her madly. Thanksgiving is just a great Holiday, it’s all about the food and family, no stress about gifts and wrapping and things that can make Holidays stressful, whick they should not be. Also tried asparagus bundles, new food tradtion at our house now!!!
Looking forward to stuffing…love it! Also, family and friends!
Caribbean Cruise with family. I don’t have to cook or clean up, but I miss the traditional fare!

Caribbean Cruise with family. I donāt have to cook or clean up, but I miss the traditional fare!
Its one of the few times a year my whole family gets together and we actually get along and have a good time !
I love Thanksgiving! It brings delicious foods, great conversation, and the love of family and friends
I am looking forward to spending time with Family, we will be traveling to North Carolina, so beautiful there.
I will have both of my children and most of my grandchildren here on the farm for Thanksgiving. Some live too far away, military, as does my great grandchild. Someday we will all be here together. We have our huge dinner and the children and grandchildren take a long hike while I take a nap. My husband says I am getting to old to do the cooking but I think not. My daughter and daughter-in-law are a big help. It is such a special time of year. Thank you for the giveaway and may you have all of your family around the table this special day.
Spending time with my family.
Mashed potatoes and family! Can’t wait.
Turkey – for the past few years we have done fried turkey and it is delicious!!!! Love it and can’t wait!!!
I always enjoy spending time with family who I have not seen in some time.
Love potatoes, love garlic love Pioneer Woman!
I love seeing all the family most! Old folks down to the new babies! And of course all the different foods everyone brings!
Spending time with my family. I also know the fun is just starting with all the holiday celebrations coming up.
I am most looking forward to the turkey which I rarely get! And family time and being off work!
Thanksgiving is about family and food!
I love to try new recipes for the holidays in addition to the traditional ones that we can’t live without.
I love cooking for a crowd!
Food, family and lots of great memories!
This looks so good…be a good, new, recipe for Christmas.
Loveity, love the stuffing!
On Thanksgiving, looking forward to spending time in the kitchen with family, and of course, eating whatever we create
I love being with my family and Black Friday shopping with my momma!
Oh the family and friends, little children giggling and running around, the wonderful smell of turkey and green beans and. . . .who doesn’t love a good Thanksgiving holiday!
I’m looking forward the most to getting together with my families:).
I will be trying these poatatoes long before Thanksgiving. They look yummy!
The thing I am looking forward to the most about Thanksgiving are the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen and making our home seem even more special. I have to admit we are hamalholics And that wonderful aroma wafting thru the house just keeps us drooling till dinner!

The combination of food & family (ok, and wine…) can not be beat. I will get to see my sister for the first time in a year and a half and I am counting down the days!!

What I am looking forward to most about this Thanksiving is seeing my mom. She iives about 2.5 hours away. I see her once in a while, and have stayed with her after different health and medical issues, but now that she is almost done aging — very gracefully — I know in my heart that this will be the last Thanksgiving I will share with her. My sister is hosting the day, and most of mom’s kids, grandkids and great grandkids will be there; I only wish the out-of-staters could make it but i understand it’s not possible. It will be a happy/sad day, but I wouldn’t miss this opportunity for anything!
Have a very happy, and meaningful, Thanksgiving!
All of the great food and time spent with family!
Love spending time with all the family and making their favorite Thanksgiving meal complete with turkey and dressing and all the trimmings.
I look forward all year to sourdough stuffing – it’s the only time of the year that I allow myself to indulge in such yumminess!
Has to be being with family first, followed with a close second of Good Food!
Love to cook and share with loved ones.
Family and good food..
