I look forward to being with family and friends like we all do. My favorite part besides the delicious food is when we go around the table and say what we are the most thankful for.
I look forward to all the scrumptious food!!!
This Thanksgiving the Green Bay Packers are playing so everyone is looking forward to that. But besides that after dinner we all gather round and play a game….young and old alike. It’s a great time, we all laugh.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! I just look forward to the “feel” of it the most. Seeing family, enjoying the same foods we enjoy every year. It’s just such a fun holiday!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Always love being with family-especially the ones we only see once in a great while! I also love these potatoes done in the oven with a little sliced Kielbasa mixed in!!
I am looking forward to seeing my loved ones this Thanksgiving. I live 3 1/2 hours away from home, and it’s so nice when I get to come home and spend time with them!
Love Rees recipes!
I’m looking forward to spending time with family. It’s rare we all get a chance to sit down together.
Reflecting on what’s truly important; I’ve lived in a Communist country and lost
loved ones to war, so I realize how blessed we truly are to live in the USA!
Leftovers the next day…I enjoy the meal so much more then!
This year is that I get to go back home to the family thanksgiving..I haven’t been in 10 years!!
My family started a new tradition a few years back now that they are all grown with children of their own. That we go to PCB for the week and we all pile into one condo and take the boat. We fish, we play on the beach and we cook our Thanksgiving dinner there together !
candied sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie.
The thing I am looking forward to most at Thanksgiving is my family being together and having two other people over that can’t go home for Thanksgiving!!! Good times!!
I am looking forward to EVERY food item. As a single person who loves to cook & bake, it’s rare that I take the time to do so for me on a daily or weekly basis, so no holds barred on Thanksgiving; we will eat very well!! I hope everyone is able to have a special Thanksgiving with friends or family.
Looks so pretty and yummy! I will try these!
Surprising my fiance’s parents on Thanksgiving!!

I’m most looking forward to stuffing, gravy and mashed potatoes….yumm!

Thanksgiving is the door to the holiday season. Looking forward to spending time with family and friends and filling my house with wonderful warm smells from the turkey, pumpkin pie, etc. Plus, its the one time a year I make duck breast!
Those look so yummy! I am most looking forward to cooking my very first thanksgiving dinner for my entire family! Wish me luck!
Food and family!
I’m most looking forward to being with my family. I am thankful for them and the love they give to me, even if none of us are perfect. And I also have to say that I look forward to my mom’s stuffing almost as much. It is EPIC!!! š
This year, I am most looking forward to spending quality time with those I love the most! Oh, and the deviled eggs of course!
the relaxed thankful spirit!
I am most looking forward to a family get-together with all of the food that comes along. Someone is always trying a new recipe and I think I will try the potatoes.

Dressing!!! I love it!
I look forward to sharing time with my family. But I also like the stuffing and gravy part of dinner!
Looking forward to having my family together.
I look forward to all the food it’s hard to pick one item! love to win Ree’s cookbook!
I always used to dread Thanksgiving, because I *whisper* (don’t like turkey). When I got married, my dearest hubby introduced me to the Jones tradition of Tacos for Thanksgiving. Now I don’t have to eat turkey, or cook it, or eat leftover turkey, or clean the kitchen!….. We eat tacos and decorate the tree.
I look forward to Thanksgiving for a time to be with my family, spoil them with home cooking and special desserts. It’s one day I get to see all my grandkids and kids at the same time. Great fun and fellowship and lots of good food!

I’m excited about the people I get to spend time with. I love Thanksgiving and everything that accompanies it.
