Countdown to Thanksgiving
I LOVE Thanksgiving! And I obviously can’t get enough turkey because I keep posting pictures of them. Thanks to my farmgirl friends over at Mary Jane’s Farm for all their advice about free range vs. organic turkeys. I have decided to order a free range turkey for Thanksgiving and an Organic turkey for Christmas. We will taste test and report back to you.
On one hand I’m wishing that my table was going to look more like this:
I’m dying for that tablecloth! On the other hand, my table will have placemats in the shape of a turkey with lots of decor fashioned by small hands. Those precious little turkeys make my heart skip a beat (both the children and their crafts). It will be soon enough that they will find those things baby-ish and we will have a more sophisticated spread. For now, bring on the construction paper, scissors, and glue. We have some decorating to do.
The Crockpot Lady has been kind enough to compile a list of Holiday foods that we can make in the crockpot. With so many dishes to prepare, it’s nice to make something ahead of time and let the crockpot keep it warm. We do this with the mashed potatoes. I think I’ll try the Pecan Topped Sweet Potatoes.
