Thanksgiving Food Week
Update: There's still time to win the $25.00 gift certificate! Just add your Thanksgiving food post to Mr. Linky below before midnight tonight, PST! :-)
Thanksgiving has always been about food. The Pilgrims wouldn't have survived if the Native American Wampanoag people hadn't shared their knowledge of fishing, hunting and New World crops. And we're still doing it, here in the blogosphere, we're all sharing. Tips, tricks, ideas, support.... and food.
In the spirit of sharing food together, let's share our food recipes and tips with each other! All this week, Mr. Linky will be open below so that you can link to your recipe posts, and I'll post my favorites too. They can be new or they can be old, just include 'em!
Best of all, on Satuday, one random participant will win a $25.00 gift certificate to...drumroll...my shop, which will open Friday! I have all kinds of vintage cottage-style decor items, handmade Christmas ornaments plus luxury bath items! :-)
I've added a link to my Thanksgiving page, so you can check that out and then add your own! Please, so that people can find your post months from now, please link directly to your post, not to your front page.
Thank you, and enjoy!

Mmmm....Can't wait to check out others' recipes! I'm linking in with SUPER easy truffles that I posted last month, for anyone who needs to whip up a last minute dessert or hostess gift for the holidays.
I also hope you'll visit my post today...I'm hoping to raise some coin for my very favorite cause!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Your shop ??? How exciting !!!! The food of thanksgiving makes me wish we celebrated it here in Australia - I often wonder at things like pumpkin in a dessert.
Maybe I'll have to get myself to the US one day and experience a thanksgiving.

What a fun idea! I was lucky enough to get Internet access for about ten minutes here on Thanksgiving Day--thanks for telling me about this so I could participate!

Hope you're having a wonderful day with your family, Angela!! :)
