Thanksgiving

Hi all. I just wanted to reach out and let you know about my new interactive community and share a few recipe links for Thanksgiving. It will be different for most of us this year, but I think we still need to make it special. Finding gratitude for even the smallest graces and gifts can alleviate negative feelings such as fear, anger, and frustration. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t need some relief from those emotions this year.

I’m excited to invite you to join me on a new platform called locals.com. It allows creators to form communities to interact and engage in specific subjects (like cooking!). It’s free to become a member, and, for now, I’m not charging a subscription fee while I build the community, so don’t let that hold you back from checking it out. After the first of the year, I will reassess and ask for a small donation or monthly fee of $5, depending on the time I am devoting to moderating.

The name of the community is Recipes and Ramblings recipesandramblings.locals.com. I would love to see you there! We will discuss all things culinary, and you can ask me questions, get cooking tips, share recipes, etc. We can also delve into real-life issues around relationships, parenting, grief, joy, etc. One topic that will be off-limits will be politics, and I will require members to treat each other with open minds and respectful words.

Of course, I will keep the blog going as well!

Here are a few recipe links from breakfast to dessert to save you a search this week. No turkey recipe yet, but I’ve made many, and if you join my Recipes and Ramblings community, I can answer your questions. Remember, there is no such thing as too many pies on Thanksgiving, no matter how few people you have to eat them. Enjoy yourself; you deserve it.
