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!

My 5 month old grandson will be making his first visit to Oklahoma specifically Mimi’s house. He is a precious gift from God and spending time with him is priceless.
The best thing about Thanksgiving is that all the family ( 4 children and spouses and 9 3/4 grandchildren) will be together. It helps that there will be plenty of great food, too. 🙂
i’m excited that i don’t have to work and that i get to hang out with my parents and my nieces
Mashed potatoes & gravy, yum!
The most thing I love about Thanksgiving, is baking my pies and other desserts, and having my grandchildren and family with me.
Always look forward to the food and fellowship with friends and family.
I am most thankful that I get to go home to Kentucky and spend Thanksgiving with my family after being gone for 4 years!
Potatoes, garlic and butter? What;s not to love? Oh, my…
I look forward to the left overs! Mmmm homemade turkey soup is my favorite!
I’m looking forward to our newborn son’s first family holiday 🙂 Love your recipes, thanks for the opportunity!
I love cooking for the family, and having them enjoy what I have cooked.
Honestly I love the planning and the cooking, and of course having family all around me! Would so love to have this cookbook, I’ve yet to try any of Ree’s recipes we didn’t like!
Looking forward to trying a new side dish- potatoes and mushrooms. we always try a new side dish every year.
In recent years I’ve been taking mom out for lunch on Thanksgiving. I used to think it was depressing to go out but now we enjoy visiting with the folks around us.
Family time! And the Alliday Show in Tulsa!
Everything! So many wonderful dishes we only have at Thanksgiving but one of the best might be leftovers!! Can’t wait.
Potatoes are my favorite food. We have them at every holiday. This recipe looks yummy!
I look forward to my Husband’s delicious turkey smoked on the grill! It is amazing!
Looking forward to trying a new side dish- potatoes and mushrooms. we always try a new side dish every year.
The thing I like most about Thanksgiving is having all the family together.
I’m looking forward to my family coming to my place and bringing mom’s stuffing to fill up the first turkey I’ll ever make, and then heading to the University of Texas football game, where hopefully we’ll see a big win by my Horns!
I look forward to all of the food, but especially the pumpkin pie!
Foodwise my favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the FABULOUS and decadent creamed spinach my aunt makes. But the absolute best part is being with my family and planning our traditional Thanksgiving family football game!
Shared on Facebook 🙂
My most favorite part and dish of Thanksgiving is my aunt’s Chicken And Dumplings. They are amazing, as in I have to workout for an hour to be able to justify eating them 😉
I am most looking forward to leftovers and the crust on homemade stuffing!
Spending time with my husband!
I look forward to baking pecan pie, which my hubby loves, and I don’t eat. 🙂 Plus I will get a piece of pumpkin for myself, as no one else eats it.
Yum.

I love Thanksgiving. This year has been very hard for me. I have had lots of medical issues. I am so thankful to be alive to see my beautiful baby boy everyday. I’m also thankful to the people who helped me through this. What I love the most is this time if year reminds us to be thankful! Even for the small things:)
Nothing better than cooking, eating and grandchildren
One of my cousins, who also happens to be my best friend and favorite person in the world, just moved to Chicago, which is less than 3 hours away from where I live. So we just made plans to get together for Thanksgiving. So besides the yummy food we will be making I am definitely looking forward to spending lots of fun time with her and our families.
Spending time with Family.
Time with my family
I love eating good food and spending time with my family! Also, this is a great recipe for me because I usually bring roasted potatoes for Thanksgiving 🙂
Hubby makes Pork/Chestnut stuffing, ONLY at Thanksgiving, an we look forward to it every year! @whatsgabycookin
Oh my family would love these potatoes, will be trying them out at the next get together 🙂
I shared this post on Facebook.
the most favorite thing I love about Thanksgiving is getting together with my children and grandchildren. we don’t get together much all year round except holidays. I don’t even care what we eat.
I always look forward to the once-a-year smell of lots of wonderful food that takes over the house on thanksgiving. And enjoying a whole day with family!
I love the time spent with family. Something about Thanksgiving makes it really very special.
No family around this year but I am looking forward to spending time with friends 🙂
My favorite part of thanksgiving is the memories we make with friends and family. Rather you are rich and blessed or poor and hungry, gathering together to break bread and enjoy the friendship, company and love is what thanksgiving is all about for me.
I am looking forward to the smells of the kitchen but I am looking the most forward to making carrot cake. I know pumpkin is the flavor of fall but I LOVE CARROT CAKE!
I look forward to brining the turkey!
I love to try out a new cranberry recipe each Thanksgiving!
I am looking forward to being with family most! And, 2nd, eating the yummy once-a-year foods that only come to the table on thanksgiving like corn pudding!
