thanksgiving menu ideas sarcastic cooking

Whether your meal has been planned for months or you are first now getting around to thinking of what to make/bring to Thanksgiving dinner, I have everything from beverages to desserts and even a little kid-friendly section if you need a some last minute inspiration. Plus, it was fun going through all my previous posts. I made (and ate) a lot of food over the past 5 years.

Maybe all this isn’t still residual baby weight…

Nope. It is.

Bring on Thanksgiving foooood! Or at least for now, the shopping for Thanksgiving day food.
