Don't fret over the mashed potatoes. Seriously. Mash those bad boys up with some butter, a bit of milk and a pinch of onion powder, salt and pepper. Then, stick them in the crock pot about two hours before dinner. Stir every so often so the sides don't burn - but seriously, this is one of the best tips I have learned from my Mom. No bother waiting until the last minute to make the potatoes so that they are served hot. No double boiler. Just the crock pot. A free stove. Now that's beauty!
There are seventeen people coming over tomorrow - that includes my new nephew and my neice - there will be quiet a crowd. I'm anticipating a lot of laughter, amazing food, the best company and a great time. Around 3 o'clock I may be passed out due to the turkey overload, but it will all be worth it.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, friend!
I like to add sour cream to mashed potatoes.
Marcus and I are off to volunteer at our church. My husband is in for a long day at Kmart.
We had our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. Marcus and I made the whole dinner. It was my first turkey! And my husband loved it!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Oh I love mashed potatoes. And I love that mine were chunky instead of smooth because I didn't get all the chunks. Hope ya'll had a happy Thanksgiving!
