Holiday Week

A shout out to everyone else who has to work this week--I hope you are able to get away in three days for thankfulness and turkey-feasting among family and friends!

Friday Funny

It's been a while since I've posted a Friday Funny, so how about a Thanksgiving-themed funny?

 

Only 6 more days till turkey feasting!  And hopefully everyone will be healthy--no sudden-onset 24-hour bugs (me this past week...) or pilgrim-shared small pox!

Too Cute

Today's turkey art is brought to you by my BFF's daughter.

Auntie Karen loves you, Miss Faith!

Only one more week until Thanksgiving!

Happy Turkey

When I first saw the adorable ribbon turkey on She's {kinda} Crafty, I immediately emailed him to my mother with a request that she please make him for me for Thanksgiving.

Stacy's Ribbon {Gobbler}

Mom didn't have cute ribbon to work with, so she made her own version with scrapbook paper. He came to work with me today and is now leader of the countdown turkeys on my door.  He's got a Post-It in his beak informing everyone how many days are left till Thanksgiving.  FYI, just 10 more days!

Green Bean Casserole

Only two weeks till Thanksgiving! Dave and I have a Thanksgiving potluck dinner with friends this weekend, and the dish I always bring is green bean casserole. It's a very basic recipe given to me by my mother (who probably got it from the back of a can of cream of mushroom soup or something).

Yeah, my casserole doesn't look that pretty when it's done...

Mom's Green Bean Casserole

3/4 cup of milk

1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 - 14.5 oz cans of French cut green beans (drained)

2/3 cup French fried onions for mixing into the casserole

2/3 cup French fried onions to serve on top of the cooked casserole

• Mix the first four ingredients together in an 8x8 dish
• Cook at 350° for 30 minutes
• Garnish cooked casserole with the remaining French fried onions

I've seen some recipes with 1/8 tsp pepper and/or 1 tsp of soy sauce added to the mix as well!

This year's special ingredient: Cheddar French Fried Onions!

Leafy Blessings

Yet again, I found inspiration on Pinterest. If you follow the "Thankful Leaves" pin back to its origin, you'll find that you can purchase the kit online. Instead, I found a free leaf template (thank you, Google search) and got crafty!  Oh, and does anyone else find it amusing that chocolate and Diet Coke rank right up there with Jesus?  LOL!

Only 16 days until Thanksgiving, so what are you thankful for?
