About a year ago we started having problems with our old stovetop. We had several repairman out and basically they said it wasn’t worth fixing. We were down to 2 burners and one night we were in the living room and the stovetop started clicking. I turn the knob and it shot flames. I unplugged it and turned the gas off immediately. We have been limping along for a while using a gas demo burner, a hot plate, electric skillet, air fryer, and electric griddle. We were fine but Laura said we were camping in our kitchen. Today we got our new cooktop, just in time for Thanksgiving. We are so blessed and excited. It will make it so much easier to do cooking videos now 👏. Our kids are old enough now they have their own homes and their own kitchens and so they’re all bringing part of the food so basically we’re hosting and making a couple pies and the kids are doing everything else. So nice!! Menu- 🦃, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, corn casserole, and croissants. Oh yes can’t forget the relish tray with carrots, celery, black olives and sweet baby pickles. What’s on your menu? God bless you and may you enjoy your holiday.

My mom gave me a sourdough starter and I've been making sourdough loaves every Tuesday and Friday we'll yesterday I attempted pepperoni rolls and sort of failed as I didn't use enough pepperoni. I have also started making my own pasta I'll share picks later as I'm making more pasta today.

Ok, pies are finished. Pumpkin and Pecan. Pumpkin with cool whip. Pecan with ice cream. 😋 Show us your pies. What’s your favorite? How do you like to eat them? Let’s have some fun!
