Good Morning Everyone!!!:balloon:

I am doing the happy dance because tomorrow is Thanksgiving:sing:!!! Love that Holiday!!! Start baking today!!!:thumbup:

Tonite for dinner we are having leftovers...(cleans out frig. for space;), and easy to make) Yesterday I made a beef stew in the crockpot, so DS and DH will eat that, and DD wants pasta leftovers!! Me?...I will have whatever is leftover from them!!!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving everyone and remember to look around the dinner table tomorrow and count your blessings!!!:love:
 
I'm baking and cleaning today too! YEA! I am so looking forward to tomorrow.
This evening, I have to turn the kitchen over to DH and DS as it's tradition for them to make the pies for Thanksgiving dinner. Tonight they will be baking Pecan and Pumpkin pies! The most fun will be sitting (banished) in the living room listening to the two of them bake together!:D

For dinner, we will be having Tacos. Quick, Easy, and totally opposite from what we will be eating tomorrow.
 
Today it also a baking day for me, don't have to worry about the cleaning part because we go to my Mom's for dinner, but we are bringing dessert!

For dinner I am going to make a pot of pasta fagoli soup and then we will order a cheese pizza to go with it, yummy!!
 
I'm also cleaning out the fridge, as I am flying to Philly on Thursday. So, tonight is leftover pizza or leftover stew...one will go in the freezer.

I'm sorry my trip this year is so short (coming back Saturday) but it means I can bring just a daypack on the plane, which is great!
 


Hi there!

I am also excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow! It's such a wonderful holiday filled with delicious food and quality time with loved ones. I hope you have a great time baking today and enjoying leftovers for dinner. That beef stew in the crockpot sounds amazing, I might have to try that myself. And it's always a great feeling to clean out the fridge and make room for more delicious food.But most importantly, I love your reminder to count our blessings around the dinner table tomorrow. It's so important to be grateful for all that we have. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Enjoy the day and all the yummy food. :turkey:
