Thanksgiving is just days away and there’s a lot you can do in advance… like planning the perfect outfit to wear for dinner. I recommend pairing a colorful holiday blouse with the biggest stretch pants you own! Here’s what I made this week:
- Fresh cranberries for Thanksgiving dinner
- Chicken soup
- Skinless chicken drumsticks with rice and Swiss chard + salad
- Custard pudding
- Banana bread (for a friend)
- Apple bread (for me!)
- Spaghetti with simple meat sauce + salad
- Oatmeal muffins
- Plain chicken jambalaya + salad
- Simple white bread with egg to make bread cubes for my Thanksgiving bread stuffing
- Leftover cold chicken drumsticks + potato salad & marinated broccoli (a picnic 😋)
- No knead whole wheat bread
- Granola bars
- Penne with chicken & pesto sauce with steamed carrots & zucchini
- Taco salad
I’m so looking forward to my Thanksgiving dinner. Everything is from scratch and is out of this world. I’ll be making turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, fresh cranberries, gravy, and pumpkin pie with real whipped cream!!! Tomorrow, I’m roasting turkey wings to make stock for my gravy and stuffing. After all that food, we never feel overly full or lethargic, probably because we’re not having anything involving marshmallows! 😀
I love what you’re doing. I needed this trying to look and feel better, hoping I can follow your lead.
Would love your mashed potato and stuffing recipes. If you are willing to share! 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving

I have never posted my mashed potatoes because it’s so simple. I use russet potatoes and mash with some butter, warm milk, and salt.
