I love hosting holiday events at my home and creating lots of yummy food. One way I show my family and friends I am grateful for them is by feeding them!

<p><em>Sherra says…</em><br />
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and since we don&#8217;t live near our families, we have always liked to include other families who can&#8217;t get home for the holiday. I&#8217;m grateful that we can offer a place for everyone to gather and have a delicious meal with friends.</p>
