 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!

As the parents of an only child who is grown and gone now, I most look forward to having my daughter and SIL come home. My SIL’s family are all here in this area so we are blessed with all the family gatherings we attend over the long weekend. My daughter’s in-laws have graciously included my husband and I in all their Thanksgiving get-togethers and then we have my husband’s family all join us on the Saturday after. Great food, good times and so many fun memories.
Great food and football!!
I look forward to all the yummy food and fellowship.
I’m looking forward to a day full of family and food!
Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday of just that “thankful for everything from God above”. We use to take all week to prepare, now I am the Matriarch and I don’t have to do anything, and I know I am not really able to do much but it is still a wonderful time to me.
Family & Food!
Homemade cranberry sauce over everything!
Sweet potato casserole
Spending relaxing time with family over good food and being aware of all our blessings!
I love my mom’s dressing she makes with pork sausage. This year I will be working in he morning taking care of all the fabulous residents at the long term care center where I work theni will spend the rest of the day with Family
My fav thing about Thanksgiving is first off being with the family! Second is its my favorite meal of the year! And my sister and brother in law do the cooking!
I love Thanksgiving for all of the leftovers that my mother sends home with me.
Family & lots of good food are what make Thanksgiving great!
Looks delicious AND simple – my favorite combination… I cannot wait to make these for my family 🙂 Thanks!
It hard to say, I love my family and I also love food. So I guess I will have to sat that I am looking forward to the thanksgiving meal its self (that way I can say all the food) with my family. Happy holidays to you as well…………………………
family getting all together. Much easier since everyone wants to do their own thing at Christmas.
I am looking forward to a day off work and pumpkin pie!
look forward to spending time with my family for another thankgiving it will be my 10th since cancer remission and some turkey.
Looking forward to trying these out they look great! I am lucky enough to have my birthday on Thanksgiving this year, and every year I like to think about how thankful I am for the awesome family I have and how much I enjoy filling them all up at Thanksgiving time. We are truely blessed.
Looking forward to Thanksgiving. I love dressing, potatoes and gravy.
Pumpkin pie and most especially family!
Looking forward to spending the day with neighbors, one of whom has just had shoulder surgery and can’t lift a turkey.
My favorite dish for Thanksgiving is Mom’s cornbread dressing! My husband didn’t like dressing until he had hers.
Can’t wait to try some new recipes for side dishes and desserts!
I am most looking forward to my 16 month old being old enough to really appreciate her second Thanksgiving! 🙂
I’m really looking forward to the cornbread stuffing. This is the only time I get to have it.
Yummy….
Ree gives us great recipes. I have a much older cookbook that she wrote and it is a go to book for wonderful recipes. I look forward to trying her new recipes.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and may you find peace and happiness during this Holiday Season..
I am looking forward to seeing my sisters baby the most and the rest of the family.
Thanksgiving is mine and my family’s favorite holiday. We love getting together to share a traditional Thanksgiving meal, enjoy conversation and make our phone/skype calls to our family and friends. We are Army so we are never in a setting where our enitre family can be together. We make “new family ” each year by inviting some of the single soldiers to our home. It’s always a fun and warm time 🙂
Sha
Turkey with Cranberry sauce….YUM!
I am looking forward to spending time with my family….well that and pumpkin pie!
I love this blog and pioneer woman!! I can’t wait for thanksgiving, everything about it is amazing. Cool weather, family, yummy food, football! It’s the best!
All the great food but most of all this will be the last Thanksgiving before my oldest daughter leaves for college. Spending time together as a family.
I look forward to cooking tons of food to make my family happy.
Gathering with family and friends, but also look forward to Mashed Potatoes and a whole bunch of yummy food!

I look forward to making all of my Mom’s Thanksgiving recipes…though she and my Dad are no longer here, it makes my family I feel close to them! 🙂
I’m looking forward to all of the creative fall dishes & getting together with family 🙂
i like to search the net and find a new recipe to try….also love persimmon pudding w/whip cream!!
I can’t wait to see my family, plus, I’m excited for stuffing!!!
I am looking forward to trying out some new recipes for my family at Thanksgiving… these are on the list for sure!
so I’m looking forward to family and friends…..
I most look forward to the dressing. I am in Texas and my grandma’s cornbread dressing is so good. She is gone now but we recreate it as best we can every year. Happy Thanksgiving.
Dressing!!!
I love being with family at Thanksgiving. The food is wonderful and a big part of the celebration, but I honestly would not care what we ate as long as we are together as a family. Especially now that my children are mostly grown and live away from home. My dream Thanksgiving would be having all eight of them and their spouses and my grandkids home together at the same time.
What I look forward to most is all the incredible leftovers that last for days…I always make a turkey shepherd pie for the day after!
We spend the holiday in San Luis Obispo each year. Our Thanksgiving tradition includes a visit to the Monarch butterfly colony in Pismo Beach followed by running through the waves on one of the local beaches. Then a relaxed dinner at a wonderful area restaurant. Christmas, though, means COOKING! And Ree’s 9 hour mushrooms top the list!
The desserts of course!
I most love the days off to relax and do what I want.
