I want to use this blog to share holiday traditions with all of you. I have family and friends from New York to New Mexico. The holidays always put me in the mood to celebrate. I cook a big turkey and we all sit around the table together talking, laughing, and eating too much!

Each family probably has its own way to celebrate Thanksgiving. I want to hear about yours. I hope that all of you will write about your family's traditions, menus, recipes, and stories. This will be a great way to feel connected, even though we don't sit around the same table.


Here is an idea of what we normally have on the table at my house.

MENU
Roast turkey with stuffing and gravy
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry sauce
Roasted butternut squash
Mashed rutabaga (turnip)
Brussel sprouts or lima beans
Sweet potato muffins
Apple pie and pumpkin pie with whipped cream

Tell me about your menu. What foods does your family count on as part of the Thanksgiving Feast? My family watches football after dinner. What does your family do on Thanksgiving day?
The slideshow above shows some pictures of the table at my house. All the plates are empty just waiting for us to fill them up with turkey and all the other holiday foods we eat. Yummo!
