(Scenes from our Thanksgiving in 2012)
Whether we’re ready or not, Thanksgiving will be here in just two weeks from Thursday. How did it already become the holiday season?! We are hosting Thanksgiving this year (yay!), which means that I need to finalize a menu ASAP, and thought you might be in the same situation.

Hi Christina, I just tried to pin it using a couple of different methods and all seems to be working. Perhaps Pinterest was having a hiccup when you originally tried?

So excited to see some Thanksgiving breakfast recipes! Usually we do lunch with my family and dinner with hubby’s but this year we have to do breakfast with his family instead – this will help with some inspiration on what to make.

Can I just say that I’ve been really disappointed in the direction your blog is heading lately? From using cool whip in everything, to the quality of your photos, to the increased frequency of these throwaway “round up” posts. Michelle, this is your JOB and you have really been phoning it in lately.
And for the love, I DON’T CARE WHAT KIND OF SALAD DRESSING YOU ARE CURRENTLY OBESSESED WITH! Your Friday Favorite posts give me the rages.-

The thing I love so much about Thanksgiving is that there is NO menu to put together – we have the same dishes every year because they are traditional family favorites, some of which we only have once a year. It just would not be TG dinner without our favorites. That said, we have made minor adjustments along the way – some have stuck (like dried cranberries in our bread stuffing), and others not so much (like mashed turnip).

I so want I try…ALL of your pumpkin recipes!!
As for T-day favorites, I’m a nut for a simple bread stuffing with the pepperidge farm croutons, celery, and onions. I’m also a fanatic for cranberry sauces-I made a whiskey one last year that was insanely good:
