Since it's less than 2 weeks until Thanksgiving and a month after that until Christmas, it's time to share some of your favorite holiday recipes. I love recipes and love sharing them so I'm hoping to liven this place up a bit, Please feel free to share us with your friends. I'm thinking to have a theme for every month and maybe drum up some new recipes and new members. I guess from now until Christmas, we have our theme - Holiday recipes - and I'll even make a tag for it.
