Thanksgiving is a time for the family to come together, tell stories, then sit down and feast on some tasty, belly-expanding deliciousness. Turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie are all Thanksgiving staples, but if you want to really spice things up a bit this year, we have some ideas.
November 14, 2012 Kids, the past couple of years or so I've been in charge of cooking Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners for the family.
I live on my own, so I don't really do too much cooking on a day to day basis. I put milk in cereal and that's about the extent of it. So when it comes to the family meal, I like to think I make an effort and pull out some stops to make it special. One year I made a Champagne Ham, and it was a very sweet, flavorful dinner. Last year, I tried something new for Thanksgiving. I decided to put my small turkey - in the Crock Pot.
Holiday travel will bring increased traffic to the American highways this Thanksgiving weekend. However, with many families still simply trying to operate day-to-day on shoestring budgets, people are expected to plan shorter trips to carve their turkeys this year as a means to save money on fuel and other expenses.
Even though the price of holiday travel is on the rise, nearly 24 million people will still be shuttling across the friendly skies this Thanksgiving weekend.
