A Little Personal History:<\/h2>\n

Thanksgiving is a great day for cooking. It’s all about family and being thankful for all we have. Considering the overtones of the day, the last thing you want is a dried, over\/under cooked and flavorless Turkey<\/a>. Here’s my tried and true approach that’s never failed me and always brings requests for my secret! \u00a0The secret is out \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Description:<\/h2>\n

“Thanksgiving Day<\/b> is a national holiday<\/a> celebrated in Canada and the United States as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the\u00a0harvest<\/a> and of the preceding year. It is celebrated on the second Monday of October<\/a> in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November<\/a> in the United States. Several other places around the world observe similar celebrations. Thanksgiving has its historical roots in religious and cultural traditions and has long been celebrated in a secular<\/a> manner as well.”\u00a0https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
