Wedged between two other fantastic holidays, Thanksgiving can sadly become lost in the hustle and bustle of costumes and candy canes. (Yes – we’re talking about you, Christmas and Halloween!) So lets put down the tinsel and pick up some turkey!
It’s time to give Thanksgiving the recognition it deserves because lets face it, who doesn’t love the four “F”s of Thanksgiving: football, family, friends and food.
We are going to focus on the fourth “F” – food – and help you get ready to leave everyone’s stomachs stuffed this Thanksgiving.
Here are some of our favorite recipes from “Entertain With Jane” and a few others that will leave your family and friends running for seconds, and ending up in a food coma on the couch while watching football in the afternoon.

Stuffing-Muffins with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy | Recipe
No Thanksgiving meal is complete without two things – well three things, we suppose, if you count the turkey. Stuffing and mashed potatoes are the backbone of Thanksgiving; the glue that holds it all together. The straw that broke the camel’s pants button. There are many amazing feats the human race has accomplished: walking on the moon, the Internet, the wheel, and last but definitely not least, stuffing-muffins with mashed potatoes and gravy.
So let’s give it up for Thanksgiving!
