I spent the day baking, preparing, packing and sitting in a car. We just got to New Mexico (our final destination) after what seemed like an eternity in the car. But we made it and I couldn’t be happier to be with my family!
Before I fall asleep, here are some pictures from food part of my day…
The sun was just coming up as I was eating this, and there was one ray of light shining on the bread. Like a spotlight on my breakfast.
Then it was on to baking for the big day tomorrow. I started with bread pudding.
Then a salad dressing…
And oaties for the car ride…
They were a hit!
After a long day and a five hour car ride (full of laughter and a lot of ridiculous baby name suggestions) – I’m ready for bed. See you all tomorrow for Thanksgiving updates!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!


mmm…looks like you have started off the holiday season with some great baked goodies!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Love the cranberry salad dressing. That is a genius idea.
It makes for a lovely salad colour.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your fam.
I think you should share some of the finniest baby names
that you have been given thus far.
i love that cranberry dressing! it is gorgeous- enjoy your Thanksgiving!
I love New Mexico! We took a road trip to Santa Fe when i was younger and it was a beautiful trip. I was only 9 and i still appreciated every part of that state so much, i want to go back. I will have to live vicariously through you, for now, minus the whole pregnancy thing. Even though i want kids, and i often eat like i am eating for two, i don’t think i could ever take on the task of carrying around another life in me for 3/4 of a year. I give you mad props, dude! (For some reason whenever i leave a comment that i try to end nicely, i turn into a surfer…) P.S. Sorry, physically, you don’t look pregnant yet! I bet it is the long torso… If you were shorter your onion might show a bit more. Never thought i would have to write that sentence in my lifetime…
Everything looks delicious – I love bread pudding so very much. It’s 3:23 AM, and that sounds amazing right now…I could also do some major damage to those Oaties as well.
Glad to hear you survived the car ride and that you arrived safe and sound. Enjoy your Thanksgiving, and I hope you’re feeling well and getting lots of rest!
Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!! Have a great time with your family.
And I think your baby should be named Chelsey.
That cranberry dressing looks delicious! I’m going to have to save this recipe
Happy Thanksgiving!
All the dressing ingredients look so cool together in that jar before you blended it…looks like a killer finished product too! Have a great one, Katie
That bread looks amazing and the dressing sounds wonderful! Glad you had a great day!
