George, our mechanic's pet turkey

George is thankful he'll still be around tomorrow, and we're thankful for homemade apple streusel pie and ice cream for breakfast. Gotta go!

What are you thankful for today?

Thanksgiving Recipe Ideas: Quick Breads, Rolls, & More

There's nothing like homemade bread for the holidays! From easy but impressive quick breads to yeasty little rolls that make great leftover turkey sandwiches, these nine favorite recipes from the Farmgirl Fare archives will have everyone singing your praises throughout Thanksgiving weekend, and your kitchen will smell divine while they're baking. The scones, rolls, muffins, and Italian rosemary raisin bread all freeze beautifully, too. Enjoy!

I created these Savory Cheese and Scallion Scones with Feta during a 1993 scone craving when there was no butter in the house, and they've become one of my most popular recipes. Made with softened cream cheese in place of the butter, they mix up quickly and always garner rave reviews. I love the leftovers split in half, toasted, and made into little cream cheese and ham or turkey sandwiches.

Eight more recipes below. . .

Daisy and Marta

Thankful. . .

For these two amazing guard dog girls.

For a wonderful rainy day.

For the cozy warmth of wood heat.

For plenty of bowls and buckets to stick under the ceiling leaks.

For lots of progress made on the new house during the past week (which doesn't leak!)

For so many wonderful blog readers—many of whom are now friends.

For homegrown and homemade food so good that every meal is a celebration.

To share the farm with dozens of loving, adorable, and always entertaining animals.

To be surrounded by so much natural beauty.

To see and hear the migrating geese overhead (and yesterday, thousands of songbirds, too).

To live in a state of constant, total amazement.

To call these acres home—and to be with someone who loves farm life as much as I do.

What are you thankful for today?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Though if Santa showed up hauling a nice big load of firewood for us, that'd be quite appreciated, too.

Yeah, but where's the pie?







No Pie!? Again?

What? Nobody else roasts tomatoes from the garden in late November? Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey, it was handy—and free. And for that we're very thankful.
