Tomorrow is the day that Americans will sit down at the family table with their families, eat too much food, and enjoy each other’s company, until they don’t.
I am thankful for…
- Mr. Incredible - he is my rock, he has been through so much with me, sickness and health - he is my everything - I can’t imagine my life without him (because I choose not to) - he completes me.
- My Kids - they make every day an adventure…and life should be full of adventures….
- My blogging Friends - y’all are awesome - I have meet some pretty amazing people over the past few years, and I am grateful to have you all in my life!
- My Job - Even though it drives me crazy - I am thankful that I have a job, that it pays me enough to help provide for my family.
Our Thanksgiving plan was to have a pork loin, veggies, nothing big…. - as I am going out the driveway to go to the store, Mr. Incredible and I were talking on the phone and it was decided that we would have TURKEY tomorrow…with all the traditional Thanksgiving day items…
So two stores later, I buy the smallest fresh Turkey I can find (13.8 lbs.) - there is no way a frozen one would be thawed in time, a 5 lbs bag of potatoes, sweet potatoes, veggies, stuffing, homemade rolls, and pie. (Meritt - stop reading please!!) Please keep in mind -I am not MARTHA STEWART - heck I can’t even pass for Betty Crocker.
I will boil the potatoes and make them into mashed.
Sweet potatoes - I am cheating and using the ones from a can.
Veggies - (We are going for the green and white trees!)
Stuffing - from a box…
Homemade Rolls - I bought frozen dough - It’s rising as I type and I’ll bake them in the morning.
Pie - Aunt Sara is helping with this one…
Per Pan’s request we will have a “charlie brown” thanksgiving right after the parade and our big “meal” will be late afternoon.

We’ll be having stuffing from a box, too. No matter how I try, I can’t come up with stuffing that tastes better.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

Sometimes these are the best Thanksgiving’s just simple and with your family. It will probably provide great memories for your kids!
8:57 am
I’m using Trader Joe’s stuffing from a box but I added chopped onions, carrots, celery, breakfast sausage ans cornbread just to jazz it up. I didn’t bother with making desserts - so not my thing. Baking just stresses me out…
