I’ve had trouble figuring out the sides latey. Can’t seem to come up with anything on my own. Thank goodness for the “veggies” and “salads” sections of my cookbook!

I had a terrible aversion to pork when I was pregnant with my first child. Couldn’t stand it at all! I’d try preparing it in different ways–baked, broiled, grilled, saute’d. Didn’t matter, it all wanted to come right back up. Fortunately, the aversion went away after the baby was born.

Good luck with your roast!

I love Monday’s sides! DH wouldn’t think twice about serving that many starches, but I know we need more variety, so it’s up to me to serve something green.

Thanksgiving Day is the rare exception where I purposely prepare multiple starches. Homemade egg noodles, mashed potatoes and rolls are always there. Lately we’ve dropped the dressing and had corn casserole instead. It’s no wonder we’re sleepy after dinner.

Oh my goodness, I just blogged about the same thing! Okay, not the pregnancy part, lol. But, menu planning has been tough.

I also wrote a little about you!
