This may seem a little ramble-some, but at this point it’s been so long since I’ve given an update on The Husband’s situation that I’ve surpassed long overdue.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I don’t know about you, but our house is suffering from Thanksgiving cravings. Usually I can tame the craving with an incredible turkey & sage roll served with a cranberry dipping sauce. I’m not sharing the recipe for the easy Thanksgiving explosion that is so quick to prepare [...]
