Someone once told me that the older you become the faster time goes by and I certainly find that to be true. It is Thanksgiving time and Christmas is just four weeks away. I noticed that there are five full weekends in December, so we will have more time for entertaining. It’s a time to reflect on all the things that we have for which we should be thankful.

We should be thankful every day for the many blessings that God has given to us; good health, family, safe homes, more food than we can possibly eat and our freedom. We have just celebrated Veteran’s Day and again we should be thankful for the freedom that came from the sacrifices of so many. Along with the Thanksgiving Day celebration of course is the food we will enjoy.

This recipe for stuffing is one that my daughter has prepared for years and it is an easy no-fuss way of preparing the stuffing and is never too dry. I would probably cook the giblets that are with the turkey,

chop them and add to the rest of the ingredients.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones.
