Happy belated Thanksgiving! Mine was great – guested instead of hosted, I might need to make that a new tradition 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful day!!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I am sure you did by the looks of that pie/ tart!! Yum!!
Yummy!
Happy Thanksgiving, Liz! I hope you had a wonderful day and were able to spend it with your family!
I love strawberries! I hope you also had a wonderful holiday weekend!
Deeeeeeeelish.
I heart strawberries. Xx
That looks delicious! Now I don’t feel bad that I never remember to baste the turkey, lol.
Happy (late) Thanksgiving!! Hope you had a great day
I cooked a turkey this year and stuffed it with stuffing! I normally do the stuffing separate.
that fruit bowl looks yummy! My favorite part of the Thanksgiving food is the leftovers!
Liz, I hope your day was super special; like you!
XO
I am a terrible cook on holidays – thanks for the info, I really try and take something from every video/post I see on cooking for the hoildays! Much appreciated!
I’ve just recently begun cooking turkeys in the last few years. Great tips and hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving.
wow looks wonderful
happy thanksgiving
I laughed out loud when she said to not be intimidated by the size of a turkey but instead, look at it as a big chicken! We have a lot of turkey leftovers and I might have to try her idea of making turkey enchiladas.
I’ve never cooked a turkey but I want to know more about that fruit tart up there. LOL
I agree with her on basting the turkey. People do it because it makes them feel they are moistening the meat, but at best you are getting the surface wet and that will evaporate quickly in the heat of the oven. Plus, as she said, constantly opening up the oven prolongs the cooking time, and wastes energy. It is bad enough to pay the cost of heating an oven for 5 hours, but when you add on the continual reheating because you are “letting all the heat out” you are throwing money down the drain just so you can think you are juicing the turkey.
Hope your Thanksgiving day was the best! 😉
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Happy belated Thanksgiving to you. Hope you had a great one!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Love the cranberries; Wow, a lot of the stuff she said I already do. Totally cool. Guess I’m doing it right, Huh! Other than Turkey for Thanksgiving?????? Is she kidding? NOT!
The fruit dish looks very nice. Thanks for the helpful tips!
Happy Thanksgiving to you to!
I put pomegranate in my cranberries this year.
Alright, that dish looks amazing, and how cute with the heart shaped strawberries! Girl, you have to stop by tomorrow and view my pictures of my “Martha Stewart would be jealous pie” that turned out so gorgeous and then hit the floor and was ruined, I think you will truly appreciate the humor of my once again kitchen fail lol
