Even though I enjoy Christmas, and I really enjoy watching all the Hallmark Channel movies, I like the gift-free gratitude-filled -ness that is Thanksgiving.
It's also fun to try new dishes. Especially since I have lots of opportunities to create new dishes with our Tastefully Simple products and I have lots of hosts who love to share awesome recipes with me! I'm a lucky cooker as the kids used to say when they were little.
Recently my host Annette, who is an awesome cook, made the yummiest dressing.
If you are looking for a way to wow this Thanksgiving I must recommend it.
Here is the recipe from our website:
