    It was a joy to actually spend some time with you all and make a video! I’m so ready to be well and get back to life and the kitchen! Be super blessed! Thank you for all the beautiful love and support! ❤

    You been sick! Amazing you even cooked, you are allowed to cut corners where u see fit. I know I have teased you in the past by not making from scratch, but honestly it only shows me you are a real modern cook. We all cut corners, even I when in need of time or energy for other things. One of my daughters doesn't eat dinner regularly till after 7 pm. What matters most is you had family to share with. Can feel the love that u share with your family and it is wonderful to see them pitching in to help. Much Blessings ♥️ PS you look like you are on the mend🤗

      Thank you sweet friend. I do what I can. Lol I can always take a joke. One year I destroyed the sweet potatoes. The family still laughs about it! We live in the real world here. I tell my family I don’t care if you take help from the store, but a premise pie, no matter what as long as you have the skill todo it for real and the wisdom to take help when you need it. I hope you had a super blessed day with all that big beautiful family that I know loves you so much.

    Thank you so much, for allowing us to share your lovely dinner. Everything looked so delicious! My daughter and I had dinner alone here, my other children and their families all stayed at their own homes. We used to all have dinner at my Moms, but since she passed, obviously that tradition is no longer. ( I am still grieving this). So, Patty and I had the mashed potatoes, .a boxed stuffing, turkey baked in the oven, but I would have loved the smoked Turkey breast. Yours looked so delicious., cranberry nut salad, (I will send you that recipe, it’s awesome) frozen peas, green bean casserole. Bought a package of rolls..big mistake…tasted like breaded air! I have a yeast roll recipe that I used to triple, when my 9 kids were young….but last week I made one batch for Patty and me. Should’ve made them for yesterday, they are so delish! A. Pumpkin pie for Patty, and a pecan pie for me, is all we did for desserts. In the morning, while peeling veggies and such (we did have sweet potatoes, onions too) we always watch Macy’s parade,followed by Miracle on 34th Street. So, that was our day, quiet. Thanks again for inviting us into your home. You are SO sweet. Hugs, Bev in Maine

    That turkey and side dish looked great. You did great. I worked two days on our meal. I made Aaron's grandmother's pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin and it was wonderful. You get lots accomplished in such a short time and I love it. Glad you were together for Thanksgiving. Our four kids and their families were all here. There were twety of s and the cousins have such a good time.

    This cheeseball recipe is the same one I use when
    I serve it in a pine cone shape. Instead of chopped nuts ,make the cheeseball pinecone shape and cover it in almonds starting at the bottom,covering with almonds to the top ,(looks just like a pine cone!) then snip a bit of pine to make the pine needles at the top. Looks beautiful and tatses great! Serve with crackers.I like your individual cheeseball idea. I will try that too!

    Happy Thanksgiving!! Your tables looked so tantalizing, full of the season’s best! We had many similarities such as smoked turkey. It was so good, even better that we were guests at our son and family’s home. No cooking for Momma!!
    Prepare yourself for this tidbit I leaned in this video….we have a cheese dilemma!! One of my favorites is Bleu cheese and my least favorite is feta ! Imagine!!
    That trek to the basement caused me angst as the ice was looking quite evil. Hint, hint Aaron. We do not want your co-captain to strain her gizzard or sweep out into the lake! Love you guys! Keep up the good works you provide! ❤️ Momma G

    Hi Jessica. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Sure seems like you did. We don’t get Thanksgiving as a holiday, but we put on a lunch for our employees. I made 3 turkeys the day before as well as gravy and on Thanksgiving morning, I made 6 pans of stuffing. 2 other people also made 3 turkeys each and someone else made the mashed potatoes. The employees contribute desserts. It was delicious!
