Thanksgiving menu prep

IMG_2274
Good god, I am not feeling at all ready for Thanksgiving this year. It sort of snuck up on me in this crazy whirlpool of everything else to do (mainly work and moving/packing) that does not include making Thanksgiving menu lists as efficiently as I normally would.. The warm weather has not helped things either – it certainly does not feel like late November outside.

However, the triple apple cake is ready to be made! The Russ & Daughters treats and the heritage turkey have been ordered. And there is a plethora of tried and tested exciting options to choose from for all your other Thanksgiving appetizing needs.

I hope that these seasonal favorites provide some holiday table inspiration for all of you too. Now let’s get to planning that Thanksgiving menu!
