Less than one week from Thanksgiving day! November is flying by here as we are settling into our new home. I can’t wait to put up the Christmas tree. Have you decorated yet? It’s 2020, so I won’t judge if you did it in October.

One pot. One pan. Sure. It always seems like a lie when I see this in recipes. Also, the time for prep…10 minutes? How fast are you with a knife? Do you have a dog that tries to steal everything you’re getting out of the
