Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving! May your Thanksgiving be filled with love and surrounded by family . This time is where families are together and share what they are thankful for. Enjoy this time with your family and create memories with them today.



It's 6:00 am and I'm sitting on my couch drinking my coffee to prepare myself for Thanksgiving. I have made it a tradition ever since we moved into our home back in 2021 to cook for Thanksgiving. My husband handles the meats and I handle all the sides and dessert. I have a passion for baking and cooking so this time of year is my favorite time. I love being around family on this special day and I wouldn't change it for the world.


I am thankful for being alive and healthy.

I am thankful for my husband and my two boys.

I am thankful for my awesome and loving parents and bonus parents too.

I am thankful to have a stable job with wonderful bosses.

I am thankful for my beautiful house and everyone that is around me today.

I am thankful for my friends and family.

I am thankful for wonderful neighbors that treat us like family.

I am thankful that I can use my right hand again.

I am thankful to have God in my life.


There are so many other things that I am thankful for, but what are you thankful for?


What are you Thankful for??

  • God

  • Health

  • Happiness

  • Family

I have lost so many loved ones these past few years, but I am still grateful that I got to have them in my life. I'm grateful that I have the left over memories they left behind. I'm grateful that I get to still have their spirit near me and protecting me every step of the way.


I love cooking all the sides each year for thanksgiving and I always go all out! I make up to 10+ sides for dinner. I have included American Traditional Thanksgiving and some Mexican dishes to our menu. I know a lot of people don't like to cook and order out instead, but I'm curious who cooks and eats out!


Do you cook for Thanksgiving? If so, what do you cook?

  • Yes I cook and I'm a pro!

  • No, I don't cook

  • Traditional Thanksgiving - American

  • Traditional Thanksgiving - Mexican

I would love to see your Thanksgiving dishes! Please send them over.


Our menu this year is:


Green Bean Casserole

Hot Corn

Mac and Cheese

Mashes Potatoes

Squash Casserole

Stuffing

Broccoli and Rice Casserole

Cornbread

Honey Glazed Carrots

Sweet Potato Casserole


Turkey and Ham


Pumpkin and Pecan Pie


Happy Thanksgiving and May God Bless you all today, tomorrow, and everyday.
