Technically, it’s less than two weeks since you are receiving this on Friday, but who’s counting! Thanksgiving generally sneaks up on me since our anniversary is TODAY!
It also happens to be Mr. Fresh Cooky’s birthday. Yes, we were married on his birthday – 11.11.2000, I’ll let you do the math, 😉 what an easy anniversary to remember!
What’s in store this week — Thanksgiving Classics! A new turkey breast recipe you will drool over, and after testing many recipes, tweaking and finally getting it nailed, an amazing Pumpkin Custard Pie that is so smooth and creamy — no canned milk in site!
I republished my turkey giblet gravy recipe with a video — silky smooth, no drippings, make-ahead, tastes incredible gravy recipe. Read on for what readers are saying about it! And finally, an easy, oh so tasty weeknight dinner!
Thank you to our Veterans!
And it’s Veterans day too, I never want to forget our veterans; their sacrifice, rigor, precision, dedication, discipline and unselfishness — a humongous thank you to my Uncles, brother and nephew who all have served our great country, and to all near and far who still serve our country, with honor and valor. I am so very, very grateful!
Just yesterday I met an older gentleman while waiting at a Dr’s appointment, he had served our country for 23 years, in both the Army and then the Air Force. We had a lovely conversation and I hope you will find and thank a Veteran today!
