Hello! Are you ready for this week?? I love Thanksgiving. Love, love, love it. Family, friends, and FOOD. We are hosting this year and I thought I'd share our favorite traditional Thanksgiving menu with links to the recipes. We usually divide up food assignments with guests that are coming but this is usually what our spread consists of with time-tested favorites.
Kate's Thanksgiving Turkey -- This turkey is SO good. We also tried smoking it this year and it was delicious. OR we also loveSam's Club Smoked Turkey -- cooked and ready to go!
Creamy Mashed Potatoes (We also add sour cream)
Make Ahead Gravy so nice to have ready to go so you're not sweating it right before dinner.
Classic Sage Stuffing I love a classic, larger cubed stuffing. This is my favorite.
One Hour Rolls these are SO good. And don't take all day! We love them with honey butter and jam.
The Best Thanksgiving Yams / Sweet Potato Casserole. I got this from my sister Kelsey -- this is basically her recipe and we just double it and put it in a 9X13 glass pan. If you want to use real sweet potatoes, usually use 5 large ones and just cook them in the instant pot or microwave and then mash them. Canned yams are super fast and convenient though. I dream of this stuff!
Green Beans with Bacon
Cranberry Fluff Salad -- this recipe is my Mom. ♥ She got the recipe from the Lion House Cookbook and made it every Thanksgiving. I can't imagine Thanksgiving dinner without it.
Raspberry Pretzel Jello Salad It's more like a dessert but we love this stuff. This is the favorite recipe we use.
Our Favorite Salad or Pear Arugula Salad
and of course pies! Here are recipes for some that we love:
Triple Berry Pie
Salted Caramel Apple Pie
Raspberry Cream Pie
I hope these links and recipes help -- have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'll be back later this week with Black Friday deals and of course bright and early on Cyber Monday!!

I always seem to get the itching to make a wreath this time of year.
I loved this one on the cover of Martha Stewart last year and decided to make my own version of it.
Most of the greenery is from the garland from JoAnn's that I talked about here. It easily came apart and tucked nicely into a basic 24" grapevine wreath. I also took apart a eucalyptus bush from Hobby Lobby to place here and there. The ribbon was from the Hearth and Hand line last year.
The BELLS! We've got to talk about the bells because they didn't have them out at Wal-mart with the rest of the Christmas finds and I can't find them online. But if you look at the section near the front of the store where they have holiday cookie cutters, gift bags, and some decor these bells were just hiding in there. This was the last set but I had thought they were so great and much less than others I had seen. Here is the tag:
I was thinking about spraying them gold but I actually liked the silver with my door handle.
I also used a few picks from the Target Dollar Spot that I took apart.
I spent in total probably about $40 and I know I can buy pretty wreaths but it's just fun creating, isn't it?
I don't have a stitch of Christmas up anywhere else but the door is ready. :)
