(my FAVORITE cookbook in the world, by the way… I got mine at Costco.) I’ll be posting the recipe soon.

Thanksgiving Point is one of the great things about the area we live in in Utah. Thanksgiving Point is a fabulous place that is “dedicated to providing guests one-of-a-kind, hands-on opportunity for discovery and an entertaining, educational experience in a variety of arts and sciences.” From my recent experience there, I can say that’s a pretty accurate statement!
