Menu Monday, November 21

Thanksgiving is this week, and that means the official start to the holiday season!  That can leave you feeling frantic, excited, concerned...  The list can go on and on, can't it?  Well, if you haven't read my post from yesterday, go ahead and give it a little glance.

Our focus this week is finishing reading the awesome book "Thanksgiving: A Time to Remember" by Barbara Rainey.  (If you click on the link above or in the Products I Recommend on Amazon.com on the right and make a purchase, that helps me out a little, too!)  Also, we will be doing some more preparation for our Thanksgiving dinner, like baking Mock-King's Hawaiian Dinner Rolls (I'll share the recipe tomorrow!) and pumpkin pie.

Here's our menu for the week, including our menu for Thanksgiving Day.  What are some of the traditional foods in your house that are a "must" on Thanksgiving?  Comment, comment!
