I know we are all shocked it is November already!
As crazy and hard as 2020 has been,
I can’t believe that it has gone by sooo fast!
So here we are, onto the holidays!
This month’s Paint Bucket is full of Thanksgiving and late fall
appropriate recipes, savory dishes full of vegetables
and sweeter elements like cranberry and butternut squash,
and a few main dishes that are completely different
than the ham and turkey you might be eating at month’s end
The flavor of the month is
Pecan
You can see photos and links in the
November section of my Monthly Pinterest Board here
