2024 Thanksgiving Menu and Meal Prep Timeline

On a whim, I entered my Roasted Tomato Caprese Bites recipe into the Athens Foods' "Make It Fancy & Fun" recipe contest last month... and I just found out yesterday that my recipe was chosen as one of the winners! I was so excited when I found out that I spent a good five minutes dancing around the kitchen waving their letter in the air.

Obviously, I'm not ashamed to admit it.

The funny thing is, this is the first time I've ever entered one of my recipes into a contest... AND I WON!

(Sorry, I know I'm toeing the line between simply sharing exciting news and bragging... I'm just excited... so, forgive me?)
