Not sure what a lunchbox pepper is, but I’ve been eating a lot of pickled cherry peppers in salads lately.
They are miniature bell peppers, so like, you could fit them in your lunchbox.

Dressed some up for dessert.
That's what my mom calls "blog-worthy"! 8)

If the Lunch Box peppers are the same as what I grew this year, they are great.  I have had the best results from them.  The variety is called Lunch Box.

My mom's birthday was yesterday, so she and my sister made a blueberry pie.

That's a picture perfect looking pie.  Tell your mom happy birthday from me too!

Tonight's dinner, or supper, depending on where you live.
Venison cheese burgers, home made onion rings, home made sweet lime pickles, lettuce and tomato.

We had some beautiful goat and vegetable soup last night, along with soft pretzel bites.  I can't wait to eat the leftovers tonight.  I'm working on making a big batch of granola this afternoon.

I’ve made some fine burgers out of venison. I do like blue cheese on mine.

My sister who always makes the casseroles already has them ready for tomorrow.  She's the competitive one, so she tries to beat her time every year (while still having fun).  She didn't beat her record from last year, but it was pretty close.  Who else is doing their pre-Thanksgiving cooking today?

I am!  We are getting together on Friday but i was baking pies and doing some chopping.  I used the food processor to make crushed graham crackers, cut my thumb on a blade and ended up going to urgent care.  They were able to glue it shut,  Now back to apple pie,

Oh no!  Good thing you have the extra day to make up the time you lost!

3 pumpkin pies, 1 pecan pie, biscuits from scratch for stuffing. That's what I know she did, but she spent the day in the kitchen, so there may be more.

Dressing in the casserole pan, Mac and cheese in the skillet. Substituted pickle juice for pickled jalapeño juice in the eggs. That was a good move.

Here is what our Thanksgiving spread looked like this year.  I also made a special flavor of water kefir for the meal, apple cranberry spice.

Last Thanksgiving I started steering away from the heart stopping, over the top dishes that I and my husband grew up on.  My improvements on sweet potatoes, green beans, and salads have been welcomed.  No more green bean casserole.  The Green Beans Gremolata by Ina Garten recipe was a huge success!  Lots of positive comments.  No more candied sweet potatoes with marshmallows.  There wasn't any oven roasted, diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, walnuts, and spices left over!  I tried something new regarding the dinner rolls.  I was the only one disappointed as I thought it tasted like pizza dough.  As for the mashed potatoes, the kids have no idea how much butter and heavy cream I use and I'm keeping that secret.  They have always gobbled up the mashed potatoes. There were no potatoes left either. He He He!

Here was our Christmas brunch.  Christmas eggs, sausage brunch braid, cinnamon bites, and frothy orange drink.  Mom also made a beautiful centerpiece with some holly branches and my candles.
