family and food
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is spending time with my family. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the traditional Thanksgiving with all the fixings
I love that Thanksgiving is family time without the stress that Christmas always brings. And the food doesn’t hurt š
What I look most forward to at Thanksgiving is having the family together.
I am mostly looking forward to spending time with family and cooking, my favorite dish to make & eat is cornbread stuffing!! I also love pumpkin pie!
Children, grandchildren, mama, sisters, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews all together! And delicious food!
I am looking forward to the all of the food!!! Especially the turkey!
Family.
The pumpkin pie – but it has to be home made!
YUMMY!
I love ALL the food……….turkey and ALL the fixins, plus the desserts are delish. …my favorite dessert is Pecan Pie and of course the time spent with family and friends
Family…. It is the one time of year that we are all together.
The food and visiting with family!
looking forward to have our whole family together for a nice holiday time – the first since Mother went to live in an assisted living apartment; my husband survived a massive heart attack in August; a cousin will be joining us this year (her mother suffers from advanced Alztheimer’s); our youngest son and his family will get to come this year for the first time in several years; a great-niece and her new family will be there and will reveal the sex of their baby-in-waiting. All in all we anticipate over 30 at this very special Thanksgiving weekend gathering when we celebrate family with very thankful hearts. Each person is to bring their own special holiday dish – I am responsible for the dressing – I make it much like our grandmother made it – she taught me, so it should be good like her’s always was.
Ree’s new holiday cook book is on my wish list for Christmas – my hubby and son have already been notified.
Honoring my Dad. Thanksgiving was always “his”holiday. Each year he made his special stuffing and fussed over the turkey until it was golden brown and delicious. Now that he’s passed, I try to carry on his traditions each Thanksgiving and I feel close in spirit to him.
Love when the family is all together, bustling around the kitchen to get a fantastic meal on the table, and then we stuff ourselves silly!
Can’t wait to be with family!
Canadian Thanksgiving has come and gone but I love preparing dinner for my loved ones. Ree’s cranberry sauce was a real hit at our Thanksgiving table!
I love spending time with family!

Spending time with family!
I’m from Canada, so we already had thanksgiving. But my favourite part is hanging out in the delicious-smelling kitchen and learning the family-favourite recipes that my dad and mom make! Stuffing… gravy…. *drool!*

HOME! Where family gathers to give thanks, cook and eat!
Getting together with family and good friends, both old and new. Also having oyster dressing. Yummmmm.
The smell of pecan tarts and turkey baking in the oven. That smell always screams Thanksgiving.
Homemade stuffing is a Thanksgiving favorite in this family
Being with family and of course the food.
Family, friends and food, lots and lots of food! Homemade of course!
My favourite thing is working the soup line at the local mission on this day of thanks.
Seeing the less fortunate enjoying good food served with love just like those blessed
to do so with their family and friends is most humbling for me and makes me that much
more grateful for my own circumstances. God is good!
