The Countdown to Thanksgiving Has Officially Begun!
Confession time: It's only November 3, and I've already poured through the latest issues of Food Network Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Everyday With Rachael Ray and Better Homes and Gardens, not to mention a few cookbooks in search of the best Thanksgiving recipes.Yes, I absolutely adore making Thanksgiving dinner...every single course of it.
