Pumpkin Pie

Today I am super excited to bring you a Thanksgiving pot-luck. We have over 15 bloggers sharing some of their favorite recipes for Thanksgiving. On top of that we have 2 amazing prizes you can enter to win. With Thanksgiving happening next week, hopefully this is perfect timing to give you a little inspiration.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. You get to gather around the table with friends and family, and have way too much food. In my family we have the same things almost every year, but that is why I look forward to it so much. It is one of 3 times a year I get to have green bean casserole, which I love! And the day after Thanksgiving a cold turkey and dressing sandwich is perfect.

I know how fortunate I am to work with food for a living, and never have to worry about where my next meal will come from. So many people in this country are not as fortunate. Feeding America is an amazing non profit organization that is striving to end hunger in America. Feeding America is the nation’s largest hunger relief charity. They have a mission to feed America’s hungry through a network of food banks, and to get people involved in the fight to end hunger. Each Thanksgiving my son’s school does a turkey drive. They collect turkeys to give to the local food pantry, so families don’t have to miss out on Thanksgiving. Last year they collected over 200 turkeys. I can’t wait to see how many they will collect this year.
