Hi Everyone,

Carrots, Pumpkins & Sweet Potatoes are included in the recipes!
Wishing a blessed Thanksgiving to all!
Hugs,

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Never take love given or received for granted,
Expecting others to know how you feel,
Express your love constantly in all ways,
Share freely in words, actions and touch;
then your love will not be taken for granted
and there will never be room for doubt.
