Thanksgiving Menu 2023

Thanksgiving is a time to gather with friends and family to celebrate all that we are thankful for. There are many different kinds of foods that can be served at a typical Thanksgiving meal. A traditional Thanksgiving menu typically consists of a roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, green beans, dinner rolls, and a variety of pies for dessert. In addition to this, many people like to serve a variety of side dishes including sweet potatoes, cornbread, yams, salads, macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs, and more. Turkey is usually the main event of the meal but other dishes like ham or roast beef are also popular. No matter what you decide to serve, your Thanksgiving menu will be sure to satisfy everyone around the table.

Book Review - Weathering the Storm by LN Goodyear

 

It’s an undeniable fact that family tragedies can take a toll on our mental and emotional health. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a divorce, or a breakup, family tragedies can leave us feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, and helpless.

But despite the pain and sadness that come with family tragedies, there is still hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. In Weathering the Storm by LN Goodyear, the story shows it’s possible to find resilience and strength amid emotional turmoil and to emerge from the experience stronger and wiser. Weathering the Storm is a short, powerful, and inspiring story that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

If you’re looking for an honest and frank review of a book, look no further than the opinion of three sisters who have read the book and we wanted to share our thoughts on the book with you.

📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖

Cathy - I loved this story! It includes new and old relationships. A couple, Kinsley and Ryker, find love. The story has a bit of suspense. The story is about finding Ryker's missing brother and his sister-in-law while taking care of his nephew Dawson. The eleven chapters are easy to read because once you start, you don't want to stop reading. I can't wait for the next book by LN Goodyear!

Rhonda - What can I say about this book?  I loved the characters and the storyline. It was an easy read and I didn't want to put the book down.  I was pulled into the plot right away and wanted to keep going, which is pretty much what happened.  I like mystery and romance blended together.  I'm into crime shows and books so I like trying to figure out who or where the bad guy is.  This book had it all.   Thank you, Linda, for another great read.  Can't wait for the next book.

Kelly - Having read the book, I can say that it was an enjoyable and enlightening experience. The story was captivating and the characters were compelling. The writing was strong and LN Goodyear did an excellent job of capturing the emotions and struggles of the characters. I was impressed by the vivid description of the setting and the attention to detail. The book was filled with exciting plot twists and unexpected plot elements that kept me guessing till the very end. The book also had a great message about the power of family and how we can get through difficult times together. It was an inspiring read that left me feeling uplifted and hopeful. All in all, it was an enjoyable read and I highly recommend it to all readers.

If you’re looking for a great book to read, then you should definitely check out Weathering the Storm by LN Goodyear.

Bread Machine Raisin Bread Recipe

Every November, National Raisin Bread Month is celebrated across the country. Raisins are dried grapes that are used to add flavor and sweetness to many different types of breads. Raisin bread is one of the most popular and recognizable types of bread and it's enjoyed by people of all ages for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Raisin bread is a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It's also low in fat and cholesterol, making it a healthier alternative to other types of bread. The sweet and chewy texture of raisins makes it a great addition to any meal. Raisin bread is also a great way to get kids to enjoy eating more whole grains. Raisin bread can be used in a variety of recipes, from sweet to savory. It makes a great sandwich bread, can be used for French toast, or served with cheese and crackers for a quick snack. During National Raisin Bread Month, why not take some time to explore new recipes and enjoy the sweet, chewy taste of raisins in your favorite breads.
