Hello dear friends, November is here. I am so thankful for the falling rain as I sit in my cozy kitchen. While the holiday falls later this month I am already making plans on how to Create A Delicious Thanksgiving.
Create A Delicious Thanksgiving
It’s a good time to start planning your Thanksgiving menu. Gather your favorite cookbooks, magazines, and recipe boxes. Check your pantry for the ingredients. Make note of what you have on hand and make a shopping list for needed things. Stonegable has some wonderful ideas and you can find Yvonne’s planner in this post.
A Pie Party
In recent years there has been a wonderful shift in different ways to celebrate. Neighbors and co workers often gather together for Friendsgiving. It would be such fun to also have a few friends over a weekend or two before Thanksgiving. A pie party is the perfect occasion to catch up before the the business of the holiday season gets fully underway.
