It really isn't that hard to make that big of a meal and really if it's not a lot of people eating you don't need a bunch.. What I do is make/prepare as much as I can the day before, really easy when alls you got todo the day of is pop it in the oven. Another good idea is find a side dish you can make in the crockpot 'there's actually quite a bit of recipes' this year I'm doing cherry cobbler in the crockpot.. It's awesome throw in the ingredients n bam! Hours later done..

Lol I am hosting a skin care product party tomorrow and decided to provide a few snacks and drinks, went to the store and now we are practically serving anything imaginable. Little weenies, cheese crackers and sausage, puppy chow, chips n dip, ham roll ups, nuts, fruit platter, etc.

This year has gone by fast.. But yup I realized its next week today. I'm not a big fan of a lot of traditional thanksgiving dishes but there are so many things you can make and looking online for recipes 'forget it' too many tasty looking things to choose from.. I'm 23weeks and just now recently have gotten an appetite.

Ohh my goodness I can't wait for that day I look forward to Turkey day more than Christmas lol. I'm just hoping I pass my glucose test!!! But I will admit I only see my mom every two weeks so every time I go up there she makes me whatever I want so I've been picking Thanksgiving foods just in case lol
