So how many Thanksgiving does everyone have to go to? I am counting at least 3 here. One on Wednesday, then Thursday, then (hopefully) finally Saturday. Guess I will need to break the fat jeans out...

One here too!

Of course, with all the leftovers we're going to have, we'll kind of have T-giving dinner about 4 times.

Our son is out of town and my husband has to work, so I think I would not mind skipping this year.
It is a lot of work and I have had a headache that has lasted well over a week.... Maybe next year.
I might have to make a pumpkin pie though. It is such great breakfast food.

Here's another peanut brittle recipe I picked up at the grocery store. I hope to try it out this winter.

Salted Caramel Nut Brittle
4 oz. chopped walnuts
4 oz. slivered almonds
4 oz. chopped pecans
2 Cups sugar
1/2 Cup water
1/2 Cup unsalted butter
1/3 Cup light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. baking soda
coarse salt for sprinkling

Pre-heat oven to 350*. Spread nuts onto a sheet pan and toast 7-10 minutes, just until the nuts begin to turn golden brown.

In saucepan, combine sugar, water, butter and corn syrup over medium-low heat. Stir until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Once mixture begins to boil, insert a candy thermometer and cook to 300*, stirring occasionally. As it cooks it will caramelize and turn golden brown.

As soon as the temp reached 300*, immediately stir in the baking soda (mixture will foam). Quickly stir in the nuts and dump onto a nonstick sheet pan or sheet pan lined with silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Use the bak of a spoon to spread out the mixture as thin as possible. Sprinkle generously with coarse salt.

Let sit for 30 minutes until cool. Break into small chunks.

Store in a cool, dry place.

this one looks awesome....

With the Thanksgiving going on and all the turkeys, I thought I'd share something my DH did the other night. I recently bought a turkey at the supermarket and asked him to toss it in the oven for us, along with some potatoes. We had some good sized zucchinis here, so he decided to slice one and add it to the baking dish, along with the bird and the potato wedges (and some sunflower oil of course). And afterwards regretted not adding a whole lot more! Oh my gosh, they turned out heavenly

I could happily have eaten a plate full of that zucchini and skipped the bird completely lol And that turkey came out nice too! If you guys have some zucchini left from summer, give it try? It's yum!

I wish, squash bugs got my zucchini. I had 6 beautiful plants, dreaming of zucchini bread, all gone.

I never would have thought to put zucchini in with the bird but it makes sense, it's a squash after all. I'll have to remember that!
