Happy Thanksgiving!

I really like Thanksgiving. I love that I get a couple of days off of work to spend at home. I love that I get to spend that time with the people that I love the most. I love the traditions that have grown in my family over the years. And yes, as a foodie, I love the food!

Our Thanksgiving Day traditions:

• Breakfast of link sausage, scrambled eggs, blueberry muffins, and orange juice.
• A Thanksgiving turkey, of course. This year, I'm going to SMOKE the turkey!
• The rest of the Thanksgiving meal will include homemade gravy, homemade rolls of some sort, amazing mashed potatoes with lots of butter butter and cream, and stuffing--we have grown very attached to a sourdough and Cremini mushroom stuffing with fresh thyme and rosemary.
• Mints and nuts in little craft turkeys made from miniature flower pots.
• Discussing what we're thankful for as we eat our delicious meal.
• Even if we have Thanksgiving dinner with someone else, we still cook our own dinner so that we get all of the foods we love and so that we have lots of leftovers.
• Putting up Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving.
• The start of the Christmas music season!
