Weekly Menu Plan #53 ~ Thanksgiving Week!

Very naughty no-bake chocolate peanut butter pie (I used GF pretzels)

Happy Thanksgiving!  This holiday is way up there on the "Days I Adore" list.  We focus on thankfulness, loved ones, and food.  These are a few of my favorite things!  This week is especially special because my parents are coming up for a visit.  Then we are all making the trek to my in-laws on Thanksgiving day.  We plan to spend "Black Friday" in the forest, looking to tag the perfect Christmas tree for our little Christmas Cabin.  Then...  out come the Christmas decorations!  This week is a most happy one, indeed.  What are your plans?
