The Fall harvest, bounty of the season and holidays floating in the air, signals the perfect time to give thanks! Go get a little Autumn crazy and join us or hop around and check out what others like about this glorious, gateway to the Holiday, season!
Let’s get to it!
1. Have you ever kept a Gratitude Journal? Yes or No? I kept a diary growing up, but that changed over to a gratitude type journal 22 years ago after two local teenage girls were killed in a car accident.
My actual first diary...1986
2. Hosting Thanksgiving at your house? Yes or No? Yes, for the first time in many years. We will be having my mom’s side of the family. Look at the place cards I have been making for the dinner.
3. Favorite Food from The Thanksgiving Meal? Hands down, the turkey and stuffing! My due date with the oldest was on Thanksgiving but before I knew that I craved my family’s turkey and stuffing so how appropriate. And my parents always save me the crispy skin on the turkey....YUM!!
Mom's Bird is always beautiful!

4. What one thing in Nature are you most grateful for? So many things thanks to God's magnificent creation, but 2 especailly.....the changing leaves and snowflakes. Each one different and beautiful!
The Burning bushes surrounding the pond across form our house are incredible!
I do love the white stuff too!
5. Pumpkin Pie: Yes or No? NO! Isn’t it ironic? I am pumpkins and pumpkin treats, PSL’s, lotions, you name it, crazy.... but I DO NOT like pumpkin pie.
6. Traditional Cookbook: Yes or No? Traditional, although I do print off a lot of recipes and store in a binder. I don't like reading the recipe off a phone or iPad because I have a tendency to make a mess.
The BH&G NEW cook book is my favorite, Had it for years, like it even better than Betty Crocker. Makes a GREAT Christmas or Wedding Gift!

And Anything from JoJo, Like Magnolia Table or Ina or Giada!
7. Oven Baked or Deep-Fried Turkey? See #3....OVEN BAKED to golden brown and mom saves me the crispy skin. Even though I am hosting this year, mom is still making the turkey and dressing.
8. Thanksgiving Leftovers: Yes or No? OH yes, especially turkey sandwiches.
9. What is one household product your most grateful for? That's tough but one thing I do use most everyday is my Dyson V6 cordless vacuum! Now that we have a lot of wood flooring, that thing is a lifesaver to quickly pick up crumbs on the floor, especially in the kitchen. This girl loves a VERY clean floor!

10. Are you most grateful for home cooked meals or restaurant meals? Both. You all know I LOVE to cook and bake but what a treat to go out to eat, which is rare for us. And home cooke meals are so special if done by my mom. However, I especially love it when we can all go out together as a family. One of my favorite meals of the year is our January tradition at Ruth Chris. So yummy and fun!
I am headed off on a day adventure with my amazing mom for her Birthday today. Remember the epic one that many of you assisted with Last Year??
CHEERS TO SWEET MOMS!!
