Thanksgiving is basically a harvest festival celebrated mainly in Canada and USA. It originated with the pilgrims when they had a feast marking their first harvest. It is a time for people to give thanks to God for everything. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving the second Monday of October while Americans cebrate the 4th Thursday of November. During this time families get together and enjoy a feast together, and on the menu of course is Turkey.
So Thanksgiving is next week and i will be cooking. Here’s what’s on our Thanksgiving menu:
Turkey and stuffing
Mashed potatoes and gravy
corn on the cob
Rice Pilau
Chapati
Dairy Free Green Bean Casserole
Pumpkin Pie and strawberry – kiwi fruit pie

Hope you will get to celebrate this thanksgiving with your loved ones.
Happy Friday!
