    Cooking Dinner 1 day ago

    Im still looking for a easy recipe I can cook without getting burned!



    Xiubami is excited for Thanksgiving!

    I love Thanksgiving 1 week ago

    it’s my favorite holiday. We usually have our brothers and a couple of friends over. I cook a ridiculously large meal and we drink the newest micro-brews offerings and we watch movies, listen to music and play games and some years we even watch football.

    I have already started planning the meal. I think we’re going to have Cornish game hens and pheasant. I already asked Fox and Shad they both said they’d be here :)I am So excited only 25 days until Thanksgiving!

    Yay! 11 months ago

    I cooked a turkey breast in our crock pot, and we made the sides mainly from mixes, but everything came out great and we were so happy. :)

    I did burn myself twice though!
