Menu Plan Monday ~ Thanksgiving Edition Oct 10/11
Yep that’s right it’s Canadian Thanksgiving today…happy Thanksgiving Canadians!! Hope you had a terrific long weekend! We celebrated over at friends with a big turkey dinner on Saturday so I won’t be cooking a turkey myself. Instead I’m going to do a ham and homemade mac and cheese. Yum!
Well as you know I went to New York for the first time last week and I can’t wait to tell you all about it sometime this week. It was absolutely amazing! Can you guess what my highlight might have been from this picture? Whee!!!!
Okay so last week’s winner of the $75.00 gift card provided by the menu planning resource, Ziplist, is #77 Denise from Shopper Strategy!! Congratulations Denise!!

I love corn chowder. I have never tried it in the slow cooker. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks so much Laura! I’m thrilled to have been last week’s winner 🙂
Congratulations!!
Happy Thanksgiving Laura! Oh, I cant wait till Thanksgiving gets here in the US. I’m using my crock pot today too, I have a beef roast simmering now. Thanks for hosting and have a great week! 🙂
You too April!!
Thanks again for hosting and Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Great dishes! I’m really having troubles linking up though. Image won’t come, and then it stops altogether. Has the system changed? It used to work without problems.
Hmm, no I’m still using the same system…and I see all the other links there. That is so strange, so sorry you are having trouble 🙁
I figured out! It’s with those new dynamic views in blogger. I love it, but apparently, it’s not really compatible with everything. Next time, I’ll put my blog for a moment in the old template, link up, and then change again That way it does work. Thanks for thinking along!
Happy Thanksgiving! The ham recipe sounds amazing. And I love the idea of cooking it in a slow cooker.
It was delicious!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Laura and as always thanks for hosting!
Thanks Martha!!
Laura thank you so much for linking to my chicken parm!! You seriously rock!
