Next week is Thanksgiving and I am STARVING for turkey, gravy, and rolls.
Yeah, I know that isn't what most people crave when they think of Thanksgiving dinner, but what can I say I am not most people. I am an EXTREMELY picky eater, so turkey, gravy, and rolls are what I'll be eating.
Usually, I don't look forward to Thanksgiving food but this year I am starved for it. Maybe I need something in my belly other than all the junk food I've been overindulging in this year.
Of course, I will be indulging in some Thanksgiving desserts. What kind of dessert blogger would I be if I didn't?
Since I have the food palate of a toddler, probably worse than that, I'll be tantalizing my taste buds with peanut butter sandwich cookies dressed up like turkeys, Turkey Nutter Butter Cookies that is.
