This post is JUST in time for Thanksgiving. I didn't plan it that way but I'm actually really behind in posting my Mom's recipes and these two are Thanksgiving favorites! I LOVE the holidays. The cool crisp air, the family time (no matter how dysfunctional it is), the delish food, time off work with my hubby, the list goes on & on. This year I feel extra thankful. Its been a rough year but things are looking up! Brad is finished with his Emory MBA in t-minus 3 weeks. I am so proud of him! Although I'm struggling with a terrible cold, I still feel very thankful this week. We are so blessed with amazing friends and family. I can't wait to see what God blesses us with in the next year.
