If any week is crazy, it is this one. Interesting that I don’t feel all that stressed. Hmmmm… Maybe a touch of “the calm before the storm” going on here. We are hosting Thanksgiving dinner again this year, something I love to do. We purchased a 20 lb turkey and have begun the process of getting all of the details figured out. When to make the pies, the cornbread, the cranberry sauce, etc. I am planning on doing as much as I can in advance so that we can do more socializing and wine drinking on Thanksgiving day. 
Food that I will be preparing:
- Pumpkin Pies
- Cranberry Sauce
- Cornbread
- Cornbread & Sausage Stuffing
- Veggie & Cheese Trays
- Turkey
- Steamed Carrots, Green Beans & Broccoli
We will also have (brought by family):
- Catholic Potatoes
- Salad
- Cheesecake
I am so excited! Several of us will be participating in a 4 mile race the morning of Thanksgiving. No better way to create a calorie deficit than to run before the meal! There will also be mass shopping on Black Friday to work off the rest of the meal and dessert.
Sunday – Butternut Squash Soup & salad
Monday – Battered Chicken Fingers, baked steak fries, asparagus & salad
Tuesday -Taco Tuesday, black beans, corn & salad (Jon’s gotta have those tacos)
Wednesday -I am thinking take-out
Thursday – The Big Meal
Friday – Leftovers
Saturday-More Leftovers
Baking
Lemon bars (new mix to sample & review)
Cornbread
Pumpkin Pies
I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope that you will be able to spend it with those you love. 
My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.
That's a beautiful meal, Kim! So glad you are not stressing. I'm not either, but I'm only making desserts (I think). I'm clearly not hosting this year
, although a Thanksgiving with all desserts would be fun! LOL
Good luck with your race! Happy Thanksgiving!

Your Thanksgiving dinners are always wonderful, Kim! But for me – the best part is the family time we all get to spend together!
Thanks for sharing your recipes. I'm THANKFUL for you, Kim.
Thanks for all of your great recipes Kim! I have been diagnosed with a severe gluten allergy for almost 4 years and holidays (especially Thanksgiving) have been the toughest. Your recipes have been super helpful in feeling like I can eat a "normal" Thanksgiving meal while staying gluten free.
