This week we are staying with my sweet parents. We made the 4 1/2 hour drive late last night, and woke up to hot coffee and a full house this morning. Since we're here, I won't be doing much cooking this week, other than baking some authentic German pretzel bread --- my family wouldn't let me visit if I didn't agree to bake the bread! Ha!
I've felt a bit sentimental lately, and have been reminiscing over last year's Thanksgiving. We hosted it in our home and I spent a large portion of the week planning and preparing. Below is a recap of our week's meal plan from last year. What a busy time it was!

Oh my ~ it's Thanksgiving week!
Here's what I've planned so far:
Monday is our church Thanksgiving Dinner; I am planning to bring an apple cake, an apple pie, and possibly one other dish that I haven't decided on yet. Any suggestions?
Tuesday I am keeping dinner simple. Potato soup, served with crumbled turkey bacon and crusty bread is on the menu.
Wednesday some family is coming in from out-of-town, and my sweet mama is making dinner for us all. I may bring an apple cake, and glaze it with a light frosting.
Thursday we are hosting dinner at our house, with lots of yummy dishes on the menu: roasted turkey (my husband handles this, and it always comes out wonderful!), broccoli salad, fresh baked pretzel bread, gravy, stuffing, pumpkin cheesecake, pecan pie, and more! My mama is bringing over mashed potatoes and candied sweet potatoes, too.
Friday we'll plan to have leftovers. That's what everyone is planning, right? 
Aren't you excited? What a special week this will be! I'm so thankful to be spending it with those I cherish most!
I've shared my ideas for Thanksgiving decor here, if you'd like to take a peek.
Are you hosting Thanksgiving at your home? What's your favorite dish to prepare?
Warmly,
