Okay, I KNOW it's few months away, but with my husband gone I find myself doing a lot of planning. I guess I want to make sure tht everything goes off without a hitch and I have the TIME to plan right now. LOL!! I know that I always make the same old thing for Thanksgiving every single year so I was looking for some ways to spice up the traditional stuff. I came across this recipe and thought I'd share it with y'all
