November Meals

Happy Thanksgiving!  This is one of my favorite months for food!  Although I am on some diet restrictions for the lovely kidney stone I had, I am not doing keep me from having some good food while we are on vacation.  I am going to try something new and put a link to all the recipes and if it is one of mine, that I will try to get it written out below the calender.  Hope that will help you all!  We have football for 2, maybe 3 more weeks, basketball has started for both the older two and Brad's xc season is starting to slow down and basketball starts this week.  Out of any months, this has got to be the busiest!
