Yes, here we are, the last week of November. How in the world have we gotten this far in such a short time? At least it seems to me like this year has been shorter than usual. Time really does fly as you get older, I guess.
Of course, this week is Thanksgiving, so a lot of my time will be spent preparing for that. The turkey is already taken care of - a friend smoked ours in his big smoker. Ahhhh, it's going to be delicious!
I'm making my homemade mac and cheese with pepper jack, sausage stuffing and some cranberry sauce. Friends who are celebrating the holiday with us will be fixing other sides and desserts. It's going to be so much fun!
We will also spend some reflecting on what we have to be thankful for. We are so blessed, aren't we? We have a roof over our heads, food on the table for every meal, and countless other luxuries the rest of the world goes without.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving season and remember to count your blessings, too!
Now, here's what we've got on our menu:
Monday
Baked egg rolls, sesame garlic noodles
Tuesday
Brunswick stew (a friend's recipe), pretzel bread
Wednesday
Beef and potato hash, oven roasted zucchini
Thursday
Happy Thanksgiving!
Friday
Pizza
Saturday
Thanksgiving leftovers

Those egg rolls look good! My boys are allowed to take 'warm ups' to school twice a week, where they will warm food up in the oven for them. These would be good to make for the freezer for these days. Thanks!
