I think I am ready to do thanksgiving this year. Last year I was very sad....very very sad and I couldn't even get out of bed. On the actual day I got a horrible flu as well as basically crying every moment I was awake. I have had a LONG year of growth and healing. Still working thru a lot but I think I can take on Thanksgiving.I LOVE LOVE LOVE thanksgiving. I love everything about it....

Wonderful dinner. Everyone enjoyed it. The kids called the potatoes "french fries" just because they said they tasted so good. They loved the sausage and thought the cabbage was "ok" as long as it was eaten with a bite of sausage. The adults loved everything. It is one of my favorite meals. Ingredients 6 slices bacon 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons sucanat (sugar/alternative

I was in search of a frugal version of my french toast casserole. I didn't have any cream cheese on hand so I came up with a plain version. The kids LOVED it even more than before. Quick and easy to throw together, can feed a large crowd....cheap! Easy to make variations on based on your own tastes and what you have on hand.

This year I am doing most of the cooking but not at my house at my in-laws. I am trying to do everything possible ahead of time. The day of will be at their house...which is not baby/kid friendly with my 5 kids! So...not easy. I have planned lots of activities (see bottom) to do with the kids while the turkey is cooking to keep them busy and not overwhelm Grandma & Grandpa with our presence.
