Where did November go? I always feel so old when I say that, but seriously it seems as though just yesterday it was October and now Thanksgiving is a week away. Wow! Story turns TWO next Tuesday. I can't believe that either. She's the last of the November birthday's in our family!
I love Thanksgiving. I think I love it because I love my Mimi's dressing. I mean seriously i could eat that thing out of the pan for days with nothing else. Just that. Oh I can already taste it. I have made it for the past two Thanksgiving's and mine is just okay. Mimi's is fabulous.
This year for Thanksgiving I'm contributing mac n' cheese at both family's houses. Sounds simple and easy, right. Well this mac n cheese is not simple or easy. Well, actually I take that back. For me this mac n' cheese is VERY simple. But for Molly who's making it, not so much. Yeap I'm ordering food to take to my family's house for Thanksgiving. Does that make me weird or very smart? Someone brought this mac n' cheese to us after we brought Story home and we all loved it. Even Aaron!
If I was thinking about making anything else I might head on over to the CHEAP HEALTHY GOOD blog to get lots of great ideas.
If I was even nicer I would head on over to the A YEAR OF SLOWCOOKING blog and get great recipes that are gluten free since my mom has celiac.
But I'll stick to my mac n cheese made by a professional and just maybe I'll get mom of the year by making these with my kids: RICE KRISPY TURKEYS – who knows though b/c I saved this originally to do last year and it didn't happen.
What are you making for Thanksgiving?
*Oh and Cayden informed me today that we are not to call them Indians, but National Americans. I think he meant Native Americans! My grandpa would be so proud! He's second from the right!
Baked pineapple casserole … a family tradition!
baked pineapple casserole? sounds … weird but yet good. you should post recipe!
Stephanie, is that the one with the ritz crackers and cheese? If it is, I L.O.V.E. it!!!!
Jamie, are you going to be able to hold out on eating Turkey? Our family fights over the skin of the turkey every year!
Like the new look.
Sounds yummy, too bad I can’t eat it. 🙂
And your national american grandpa is the second from the right or the third from the left, has on the suit not the feathers.
Im having the dinner so I am making a ton of things but I love it all.
oh my word i got my lefts and rights mixed up!!! i know which one he is!!! i’m a dork!
I’m taking mac n cheese, too :~)
Nice new look.
I’m making pecan pie for both sides of the family… and I’m going to brag and say I have the best pecan pie recipe. The crust is awesome, and the filling has Jack Daniels in it… need I say more?
I am making EVERYTHING for Thanksgiving – yes, even turkey & ham since the whole extended family is coming over to eat!
But I LOVE dressing! It’s is also my most favorite thing to eat during the Holidays! I also make my Grandmother’s recipe, but mine doesn’t very compare to hers! I am starting to think that “Grandmas” leave out some special secret ingredient or step just to throw us all off. 😉
My Great-Grandfather was a Chickasaw “National American”… I remember as a child loving listening to him as he told me about “Indian” things. So awesome…
