Being with my family! And corn casserole š
I’m most looking forward to having my kids home for the Thanksgiving holiday!
Probably my most favorite part of Thanksgiving – other than the delicious foods that are brought to the table – is everyone cooking together! We all will be cooking our specialties and missing my Dad who passed away in June. We will be doing the same things and laughing at the same jokes and enjoying life together as he would have wanted us to. <3
The leftovers! I love Thanksgiving leftovers.
I love to pies and dressing! Can’t wait until November 28!
I’m looking forward to taking a day off from my diet and eating all my favorites!
Being together with all my family for good food and fun
I’m most looking forward to pecan pie. I only make it for thanksgiving, so its a rare treat.
I am a huge fan of Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman. I love all her recipes she prepares and am anxious to get started on some of them. I know that these Garlic Roasted Potatoes will be one of the first. I love potatoes!
I love the pumpkin pie!
Scalloped Oysters and a big pan of Mac and Cheese! C’mon Thanksgiving, hurry up!
Spending time with family. Even though we live close together, we don’t see each other enough.

I love getting together with family at Thanksgiving. I would love to win a signed copy of Ree’s cookbook.
The from-scratch apple pie I learned to make a couple weeks ago. I’ve never made a pie before! It was the best apple pie I’ve ever had and the secret ingredient is lard. Half lard, half butter. I’d never make it for myself, but I’m going to make it again for Thanksgiving dinner at a friend’s.
The way the house smells when I’m cooking
I’m most looking forward to seeing family members I havn’t seen all year. This year, especially my new nephew that was born in July!!
It is the one holiday I do not have to cook.

I am most looking forward to turkey and my husband’s cheesecakes for Thanksgiving!
What I like most on Thanksgiving, the day I am thankful for all my blessings, family & friends. The family, gathered around the dinner table, sharing great stories, sharing the love and of course, the delicious food. A celebration of family and food.
My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the people we share it with. My favorite food is the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy. I LOVE the main dishes better than the desserts!
The smell of roasting turkey is the absolute best!
