It is the final day of Thanksgiving break from school. Tomorrow will find us returning to our daily grind. I am actually good with that. This has been a week of pretty much doing nothing. It has been a long time since I had that much time off from work. I can't believe that I am ready to go back!!
Today is our church day. My whole immediate family will go to church with me. Usually there is one or two gone. After church is over, our members put the Christmas tree up and decorate it as each church family should do. It is always a ton of fun and laughter! Then... the kids have to run and eat for they have play practice as soon as they can get back. Since we only live two minutes away, I am forgoing the excitement of decorating the tree in order to fix a quick lunch for my crew and a few friends that live almost 30 minutes away. There is no sense in the going all the way back home to turn around. I am going simple with pigs-in-a-blanket, chips, and leftover snacks from yesterday's game day fun. We never ate the lit'l smokies or the pizza rolls. My son grabbed pizzas from Pizza Hut and other great snacks for us to enjoy. That means we have plenty of quick things to make in order for everyone to return to church.
Everyone except for me is returning. With all the kids home, we are having our Thanksgiving meal tonight for dinner. As we speak, the turkey is baking away and I hope it is done before we leave for church. I have my dressing in the fridge & ready to pop into the oven later. I still have lots of cooking to do!! I have to run now but here is our Thanksgiving menu for tonight's dinner.
turkey and dressing w/ cranberry sauce
roasted brussel sprouts
shells and cheese
some kind of potatoes
dessert: banana pudding, pumpkin pie
I can't decide what kind of potatoes to fix. So many great sounding recipes!! Of course in my opinion, you can never go wrong with whatever way you make potatoes. Hope every one has a great day!
