It’s time for the annual NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month)!
Yes, it really started yesterday, but I had to post a cute picture of my kids in their Halloween costumes, right?
So, what’s in store for this month? I will be posting every day! Exciting for those 3 of you out there still reading my blog, right?
There will definitely be a lot of Thanksgiving posts. Hopefully some knitting. Maybe some deals that I’ve found in preparation for Christmas shopping. Hopefully I can come up with something of substance every day, but there may be a few of those late night “almost forgot to post!” posts as happens every year.
Let’s start off with a question though, see who is still out there reading.
What are your plans for Thanksgiving? Are you hosting? Going to a relative’s house? Going to a friend’s house? Having a quiet evening at home? What’s your favorite Thanksgiving dinner dish? Let’s discuss!

Hi–Thanksgiving at my parents’ with a dozen or so other people (mostly family, but often a “guest” or two). My folks live in the north Georgia mountains, so it’s about a 90-minute drive. My mother’s cornbread dressing is my absolute favorite. In close second place is her butternut squash dish–it’s a lot like a sweet potato dish (with brown sugar on top), but the squash is lighter and fluffier than sweet potatoes.
Yummy! Do you take a specific dish each year? That’s how it works out at our Thanksgiving – everyone has their default dishes! Welcome to the blog! :)
No. Mother does all the cooking–and wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanksgiving is her big cooking holiday. My sister gets Christmas. And I don’t cook. :D
Sometimes I wish I did all the cooking, so I could try out some new recipes. But then we wouldn’t have all the yummy standbys. It’s an argument with myself I just can’t win.
You are crazy woman! I was just about to post a comment about your post yesterday when I saw this.
First, the girls are adorabe, and I LOVE the cookie costume
Second, as I have been now for the last seven? years I am once again doing Thanksgiving. My goal this year is to spread the food detail around, and simplify the process. Having said that, I need to look for some new recipes, focusing on ones I can prep ahead of time (the day before), or those with minimal effort day of.
btw, I STILL use your green bean crockpot recipe every year. My FIL loves them.
This year I will be trying to decide whether to use my home grown & canned green beans for TG, or to buy some from Del Monte.
At this point, I am leaning toward hoarding the beans. ;)
I am excited about reading your posts every day!
Thanksgiving this year involves two meals, one at my parents, and one at the in-laws. We are making the pies this year for the in-laws. The Friday after, I get to catch a train to go on a yarn crawl though!
I’m so glad we’ve never had to do the 2-dinners-in-one-day thing. I claimed Thanksgiving the year we got engaged as “my” holiday, and it’s been at my house ever since!
Thanksgiving at my in-laws’ house this year. I’m planning on offering to make the cranberry sauce again this year, as well as anything else that is needed (like, maybe pie, but we’ll see). My favorite dish? The dressing. Definitely. Me loves the carbs!
I bet you still have more blog readers than I do!
Will there be a giant ham? :)
Doubt there will be a giant ham… that’s usually Christmas! No, we’ll likely have a giant turkey. Or two. :-P
we’ve finally come to the place where we’ve decided it’s just easier to have the meal itself at my in-laws. their house is bigger. however, we fix a good portion of the stuff here and cart it over there, so that my MIL doesn’t have to cook so much (although she loves doing it).
as for favorite dishes? it’s a toss-up between candied yams (brown sugar, maple syrup and butter, yum!) and pumpkin pie with whipped cream (no cool whip forme!)
now i’m drooling
