A Thanksgiving can be very exciting and delightful with family and friends gathering together. It can also be an extremely tiring day for the cook. Hopefully guests will volunteer to bring a side dish, dessert or appetizer. Sometimes someone will even roast and bring the turkey! To help the cook, below you will find two easy recipes that take only minutes to put together. Enjoy!

Cheers! Kathy
