Thanksgiving – My favorite Holiday!!! : D
So excited! The holiday I have been waiting all year for is finally here! I used to celebrate Thanksgiving at home with my family. Now, I have a new tradition. I go to a local restuarant and they have a Thanksgiving buffet that my siblings, my daughter and I go to. I love it! I figured once I have a house I may just purchase a turkey dinner from Harmon’s or Walmart and invite my family over for Thanksgiving. Even though my family may not celebrate anymore, nothing can take me away from my turkey dinner : D What I love doing is taking my fork – putting turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce on it and eating it that way. Its sooooo delicious! Happy Thanksgiving! 
Happy Halloween!
So officially, technically Halloween is over and definitely for me. My daughter and I were both black cats, and my daughter braved the rain and took what was her for the taking – candy. LOL! I am done with Halloween and ready to move onto my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. Excited! My daughter’s favorite holiday is Easter. Still trying to understand that one. She almost was a bunny rabbit for Halloween. I love this time of year though. We hardly get any snow where I am at in Utah, usually though the first part of next year. Anyway Happy Halloween!
Turkey Leftovers from Thanksgiving
After my initial post on Thanksgiving, I thought I would do a follow-up on Thanksgiving leftovers or Turkey leftovers. I thought I would post a picture of my favorite turkey leftover recipe, although I had mentioned it previously.
Here is the Picture:
And here is the Recipe again:

(Points will overlap in center; do not seal.)

Thanksgiving
I Love Thanksgiving. It is my favorite Holiday of the year. Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry Sauce and Pumpkin Pie. What I like to do is put Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes & Cranberry sauce on my fork and eat it.
Every year at my Job I get a Turkey for Christmas. My Partner works for the same place so we get two Turkeys for Christmas and STILL have to buy a Turkey for Thanksgiving. ITS UNREAL!
I also have a recipe that I like to make with the Turkey. Its called a Turkey Wreath. I learned about it when I went to a Pampered Chef Party a long time ago.

One year I had Ham and I was very disappointed. I cannot eat anything other than Turkey for Thanksgiving. My Partner also has this Rosemary Turkey recipe. It makes the turkey DELICIOUS!
Happy Turkey Day!
