Comment Love and a Spicy Giveaway

To my new friends, followers, and fellow blog hoppers... 

You all have made my day and my week. I have never had such an buzz from a blog hop before. Thanks for following, I am slowly getting to all of your blogs/facebook/ twitter links as fast as I can. I can not tell you all how truly blessed I feel each time I read your amazing comments.
I have felt a little lost from time to time, finding my way in this new blogging world. But having new friends, like yourselves, has made me not only jump with joy at each and every thoughtful comment. But it has made this blog, my big (jumping into the pool of risk, feet first) risk, worth more than I ever thought possible. So to thank you all for following me and leaving some kick-ass comments and since I have reached 30 followers, I am personally hosting 2 awesome giveaways!

Thanksgiving Traditions #1

Happy Thanksgiving!

These pictures were from last year's Thanksgiving at our friend's home. We have gone to their home for Thanksgiving and they have come to our home for Passover. This year we actually are trying something new, we are going to Wisconsin to visit family for the holiday. I can't wait for the traditional meal with my family. 

 These are a few of my favorite traditional Thanksgiving recipes.  Enjoy!
