How fun to be listed for Thanksgiving ideas; I HAVE to bookmark this roundup for next year. Awesome reference.

You amaze me; where do you find all the time to write and cook and teach and everything?

Hope you are enjoying the holiday season! (Oh, it took me six rounds to finally get the 'green bean casserole' right for thanksgiving... and yet it is DEC 12:). Where does the time go:)?

All my Thanksgiving recipes in one place

On today's blog entry, I've posted a downloadable PDF of all of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes. It includes two appetizers, dinner rolls, turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, and two desserts.

Yikes!

Nothing to force you to unpack like having Thanksgiving at your house I guess! Good luck with all that. The rosemary fans look so fantastic (couldn't resist!)

I guess I am feeling very lucky to be going to my sister's house, and she does have the cutest kids!

Thanks! I needed that.

Oh, Kalyn! Apparently Thanksgiving is at my place this year, the place where I still have boxes to unpack. I am rapidly putting together a menu and this is so wonderful to have all compiled like this.

Thanks for including my rosemary fans. I love them and they so easy to make that the kids can help. I just posted step-by-step instructions with photos for cutting an epi (the bread that is shaped like a sheaf of wheat) which is another cool alternative to rolls.

I am off to peruse some of my favorite food blogs (and a few I have missed!) and plan dinner. Thanks again for doing all that work compiling this list.
