Happy November!

Now that we’ve trick or treated  👻

And fallen back 🍂  Do you remember Shirley Temple?

Time to think Thanksgiving! 🍗

My recipe bucket list this month is a mixture of Thanksgiving appropriate foods as well as comfort food for cooler weather.  I always list many more recipes that I can make, but having a short list of ideas to pick from makes for fast planning of weekly menus

So many tempting recipes, so little time!!

New!  Now I am making a Pinterest Inspiration board for the monthly Paint Bucket.  You can see the Novemeber Paint Bucket here  Be prepared to drool  😋

Chicken Bubble-up from Plain Chicken turned into Blueberry Bacon Biscuit Bake,  Quite a stretch, I know, but the idea of cut up biscuits with meat and cheese baked all together,  inspiration from Chicken Bubble-up, was the basis of this recipe

Below are “non bucket” list recipes that were featured on other blogs this month:
