Yay for Thanksgiving almost here and the holidays ahead!
It's cozy season and I'm so here for it this year! I have one chick coming back to the nest tonight and he'll be staying all weekend. Looking forward to spoiling him and his Jill and getting quality time with them.
Matt & I have been enjoying crisp frosty walks by street light. Bundling up and peeking in neighbor's windows to see their Christmas trees or just cozy lamplight and decorations as we walk by. We can always smell the one neighbor's wood stove when we get close to home and that is one of the coziest aromas around! I love this time of year when home just feels that much more like a haven we love to revel in.
We come home from those cold evening walks - where we can see our breath...and into our warm home all decorated with twinkly lights and candles. I made up my turkey bone broth last night and it cooked all night in the slow cooker and I then strained it this AM. I'll use that liquid gold to do the make ahead gravy and dressing. And the rest gets put in leftover turkey noodle soup. Yum!
I also baked up a loaf of browned butter pumpkin butterscotch bread. It's so good! I'll share the recipe soon. Just a few more dishes to prep today as I'm cutting lots of corners this year and I'm not mad about that. It feels wonderful that it's going to be a small relaxed Thanksgiving! The house is all clean and I've got my stretchy pants on standby. Lol
I hope you and yours and have a wonderfully blessed and cozy Thanksgiving day. 🦃🧡

Happy Thanksgiving Carrie! I love the scene of a cold walk outside and then coming home to warmth and twinkly lights. This is what Christmas and the holidays are supposed to bring to our lives. Coziness. Enjoy your day :) (and yay for stretchy pants!).
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Carrie. Your evening walks sound delightful, the soup looks delicious and the rolls very inviting. Love you little Christmas village and hope you had a great weekend.xxx
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving and weekend with your son and his friend. I so love your gingerbread church, that is just the cutest :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a good way with words I could almost smell the wood burning and feel the crisp winter air :)
