I am having a relaxing and extremely fun time visiting with BA Tortuga and Julia Talbot. There has been so much laughter, the kind that is deep and bellyful and continues on long enough to make your eyes tear up.
We have tons of wonderful Thanksgiving food planned out. Everything from mimosas in the morning to turkey and sweet potatoes, deep fried brussels sprouts and cranberry sauce. Mustn't forget the dessert -- pecan pie, pumpkin pie, cranberry salad just to name a few.
Share your Thanksgiving menu (or just your favorite Thanksgiving food) with me in the comments for a chance to win a copy of No Regrets, which comes out on November 30. I'll randomly draw a winner on Saturday the 29th. If you don't celebrate thanksgiving, you can still enter by telling me what your favorite celebratory meal/food is.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not.

Eat & drink on! What a wonderful group of friends! Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann!
DeleteIn our house a holiday isn't a holiday without Broccoli Bake and Crescent Rolls. Hope you all have a happy one.
ReplyDeleteWhat goes into a Broccoli Bake (aside from broccoli, of course.)
DeleteHellmann's mayo, cheddar cheese and cream of celery soup. 1 cup of each mixed together and into a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is light brown and bubbly. There is so many of us that I usually multiply by 4.
DeleteWhat a wonderful time you must be having! Sounds heavenly to be able to sit with friends and just laugh and laugh. Enjoy! So … as I’m the one who does all the cooking and baking (and I love it, I wouldn’t have it any other way) it’s hard to pick a favorite, but this year I think it’s going to be the new apple pie recipe I found that’s made with sugar cookie dough for the crust! It will either be amazing or a total failure.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds utterly decadent. And yes, I am having the best time :)
DeleteI'm in the uk so don't celebrate thanksgiving but your menu sounds good tho I'd have cheesecake for dessert
ReplyDeleteoooo, cheesecake -- what kind?
DeleteEven tho i probably would eat any of that, it sounds so good, have fun eating it!!
ReplyDeleteNot American, but my fav celebratory meal is a lamb roast, with roasted vegies and Yorkshire puddings :)
I love a good Yorkshire pudding.
DeleteHi, Sean: I can't get to the relatives this year, but I will be making a personal favorite: Cornbread and bean casserole in the crockpot -- only takes about 3 hours. The cornbread cooks on top of the beans/onions/green peppers/tomatoes, and is infused with creamed corn. It's a great meal if you like this variety. Happy Thanksgiving!

That sounds delicious.
DeleteSo glad that you are having a great holiday. Nothing like a few days of deep belly laughs to bring on rejuvenation!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thanksgiving dish is a sweet potato casserole topped with pecans and brown sugar. No marshmallows.
I like the marshmallows for that little bit of sweet toasted goodness.
DeleteThanksgiving is pretty traditional at our house: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and creamed corn. Plus my in-laws always bring something new for dessert, I think its mini pumpkin cheesecakes this year!
ReplyDeletea new dessert every year -- that sounds like fun!
DeleteOoh that broccoli bake from that one commenter sounds yummy! We are doing turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy, cranberry salad, cherry pie and whipped cream, brussels sprouts sauteed with BACON \o/ I wanna hear about your deep fried brussels sprouts!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with BA and Julia! Happy Thanksgiving <3333
We decided to save the brussels sprouts for another day because really, you need to eat them right away while they're hot. And I love them sauted with bacon -- yum!
DeleteHey Katherine, you were the winner - I'll send you the book :)
DeleteI made turkey wellington and it turned out fabulous.
ReplyDeletethat's really neat!
