Thanksgiving came and went, and boy was it good!  There are so many fabulous and traditional dishes served up on this special day of thanks.  And I found that with all of this great food in front of me, it was nearly impossible not to be thankful!

My thankful spirit and I got to wondering.  We got to wondering about some of the wonderful dishes that must have been served up in dining rooms across the nation.  (On a side note, these reality shows have gotten to me.  Sometimes, I wish I could be a fly on the wall and see all the amazing food that is served up at other people's Thanksgiving Festivities.  Then, of course I would share the best with you!)   

So, anyway, I found it very interesting to see what some of my favorite Food Network Chefs were eating on this special day.  Whether it was Paula Deen's Turducken, a chicken and a duck stuffed in a turkey, or Sandra Lee's Butterscotch Apple Cider with a shot of Cinnamon Schnapps, they have some very unique takes on traditional Thanksgiving cuisine.

Also, don't miss the thanksgiving leftover ideas they offer up!!!!
