How I do Thanksgiving for 40!
The past few years I have been hosting Thanksgiving dinner at my house. We have a large family so it ends up being around 30-40 over for dinner every year. Most would freak out about this but I LOVE it! Growing up we always had many family get-togethers and over the years they have grown…

So, as usual, I waited until the last minute to figure out what is going to be for dinner. Summer gets a little crazy around here and I have been SOOO BAD at meal planning. I see some freezer workshops in my near future! So I was looking around the kitchen at what I had…
