What I'm Reading This Week #18
Happy Friday everyone and welcome to May. We had a long week of getting the garage together so the Mr could finally park in it six weeks later. We still have some work to do in there as far as purging and such but we needed to get the space useable again since it's been a holding tank for our old countertop/sink, old grill waiting to be picked up by a friend, insulation, built planters and patio table and extra fencing from critter cages. We haven't had the mental drive to figure out how we get the shelves in order. I think I'm going to have to look up some garage organizing articles or something because it's really overwhelming to look at it all. If we can get a plan together to tackle it then maybe we'll have our weekend plans for next weekend as long as it's not hot yet because we don't want to be in a sweatbox. Now let's peek into: Dietitians Agree, Eating More Might Be the Secret to Your Strongest Year Ever (Volume eating FTW. It's been ...
Can't go wrong with any of those dishes for the big day! I can vouch for that and am thankful that I get to try 'em all! Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. I love it. I have not yet created my menu although tomorrow I'm going to someones house so it's not that pressing. I still make myself a turkey breast and a couple of sides to eat for the week after. Such yummy stuff.
ReplyDeleteHave a good one!
My hubby doesn't like turkey any way you cook it, so, we are having chicken cordon easy, skinny mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, peas and pumpkin, apple or pecan pie. Then we're off Friday morning on our annual get away and boy, do we need it!!!! WWWWooooooohhoooooooo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the round up! I'm not cooking tomorrow, but I've got guests coming on Monday and would have been searching through recent blogs for some of these. I appreciate your making it easy. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThat Pumpkin Gingerbread Loaf is calling my name! I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin gingerbread loaf sounds good to me too, but I'm thinking of that closer to Christmas. Maybe something to take in and share at work.
ReplyDeleteStill, tomorrow's menu is a page from your playbook
Turkey & gravy (done by hubby, I don't know what goes into it, and I don't want to)
Mashed potatoes - done with chicken broth
Stuffing - your recipe
Sweet figgy potatoes - from a couple weeks back
broccoli and carrots
Brussels sprouts ala Mrs. if I can find fresh ones today
pumpkin pie - from my mom
if I get ambitious I'm also going to make those gingersnap crust pumpkin things you posted last year, and a couple batches of cookies from last years 12 days of treats.
Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!
I tend to stay classic for my menu - sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, turkey. Although this year we are grilling the turkey on the Weber, and I am making a cranberry/apple jam as a side.
ReplyDeleteI am actually looking forward to leftovers!
Happy Thanksgiving!
