On the Menu for Thanksgiving 2015 with Fabulous Recipes (of course!)

Hi Everyone! Before I tell you about my sumptuous Thanksgiving Buffet Menu for 2015 and tantalizing recipes, I wanted to take a moment to tell you how grateful I am to have you here with me. Whether you have followed me since Meal Planning Maven’s birth in December 2011, are brand new or somewhere in between, I appreciate your support! So when one of my recipes strikes your fancy, PLEASE consider leaving me a message in the Comment section that follows each post. Not only is it no fun “talking to myself,” but it just feels really good to know that my hours of hard work I put into this blog are seen and appreciated. I also invite you to visit my Recipe Box and website often to be sure you never miss a goodie. And do consider following me on Facebook, Pinterest, Yummly, Google+ and Twitter where I “hangout,” sharing my favorite recipes regularly.
 

Enough “business!” Now let’s get to that FANTASTIC THANKSGIVING MENU and of course the RECIPES!
