Happy Thanksgiving Friends and Family

Invite Love To Thanksgiving Dinner Good Company and Life-Changing Conversations 

Today is Tuesday, November 25th. Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26th, 2025. 

Are you ready to celebrate being thankful for all of the love and abundance that we get to enjoy everyday. 

This year my menu contains peace, relaxation, family and gratefulness and some of the most delicious food ever.

Create A Thanksgiving Ambiance Filled with Wonder for Family and Friends

I started cooking today to make it easy on myself. I made glazed carrots, cut bean greens and candied yams. Seasoning my food with just the right amount of brown sugar and honey for my carrots, they came out perfectly.

This year I decided to add sautéed onions to my cut green beans and my usual onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt and a little black pepper. There is no doubt that my family will enjoy this lovely dish to go along with our meal.

Tomorrow I will make the yams and sweet potato pies. I’m thinking about making pumpkin pie, but I’ll see how things go. It may be too much to do both because I’ll also be baking dark chocolate brownies. 

When I was at my daughter’s home in Washington, DC, this past weekend, she served one heck of a brunch. As soon as I saw the white plates beautifully complimenting her food I had to know where those white lovely plates came from.

They are from Amazon’s basics. When I got home I went straight to Amazon’s website and purchased the plates. 6 comes in a pack. I think I may have to order a few more sets. That’s how pretty they are. 

My daughter informed that when you have guests arriving for brunch, lunch or dinner, the focus should be on the food and not the plates. Well, I say you definitely cannot go wrong with white plates. 

Enjoy A Lovely Thanksgiving Dinner that you will never forget

With one more day left for cooking, tomorrow, Wednesday, November 26, I will finish my sides and then my desserts. On Thursday, Thanksgiving day I cook my turkey and look forward to having a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with my family. 

My heart will be flled with thanksgiving for all of the things for which I am grateful. My heart will reach to North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, DC, Maryland, Philadelphia and sending love to family in all of these locations.

The holiday season is always a lovely time to sit back and reflect on all of the love and memories that we cherish year after year.

There will be quiet moments as I cook and bake thinking about the delicious meals we all share with those we love and adore. 

After Thanksgiving dinner and day have ended I will make my way to my bedroom and give thanks to God for life, health, great food and family.

It is my hope that your Thanksgiving Dinner will be a dinner that you can record in your journal with a grateful heart.

Happy Thanksgiving Christmas Friends.

Happy Thanksgiving

Christmas is on the horizon but First Thanksgiving

 

Thanksgiving is Thursday November 28, 2024.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. 

Thanksgiving is coming soon. Yes and here at my house we are overjoyed. It doesn’t take much to get me excited so when I hear the word Thanksgiving I’m ready to get busy cooking.

The supermarkets all have their Thanksgiving items on display and I love it!

I started shopping for my thanksgiving dinner in October. I always want to be ready way before the day because I don’t want to run to the store when they are jam packed even though I must admit it is so much fun seeing people prepare for this special holiday.

This year I’ll be making my traditional Thanksgiving dinner that my mother handed down to me.

Here’s my Thanksgiving day dinner menu,

  • Turkey
  • Dressing
  • Potato salad
  • Mac n cheese
  • String beans
  • Candied yams
  • Cranberry sauce
  • Dinner rolls
  • Water

For dessert we will enjoy homemade sweet potato pies.   

This is the famous dinner that I prepare each and every year for my family and they love it. I just thought of something. Instead of potato salad I think I’m going to make scalloped potatoes this year. Yes, that’s what I’m going to do.

After dinner my family and I will enjoy each others company and watch the NFL. I’ll check to see what teams are scheduled to play on Thanksgiving Day.

I’m looking forward to cooking and spreading holiday cheer all day long for Thanksgiving 2024.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to get together with family and sometimes friends.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Oh, and Merry Christmas too.
