Thanksgiving is a time of food. The Pilgrims worked hard to make the new world their home, and this was their celebration. Every year it’s a traditional meal. The table is jammed with turkey, stuffing and all the trimmings. History aside, families also like to get everyone together in one room. The food may be similar, but Thanksgiving dinner recipes have as much variety as the colors of the leaves on the November trees.

Everyone knows that Thanksgiving is the worst eating day for everyone in the US. Anyone that is on a “Diet” is either going to blow it or will have to use every ounce of unnatural will power to not give in to the Holiday’s tradition of stuffing your face until you can’t move. Even more specifically for us Texans, stuffing your face until you can’t move and waddling into your relative host’s living room to watch the Cowboys.

2009 has been a difficult year in many ways, but it hasn’t dimmed my spirits for the holiday season. In fact, I am looking forward to the Holidays even more this year, and I can’t wait to see the houses on my block lit up with colorful Christmas yard decorations.

The holiday season is upon us, and it is time to start looking for a old fashioned roast turkey recipe. No need to make another click of the mouse, because you have found it.
