My Thanksgiving tradition is cooking and baking for family. It marks the start of the baking for the Christmas season. Of course all baked goods get shared with family and friends.
The Leckerlee Cookies look so yummy! The tins are so adorable.
those cookies look delicious !!!
and the tins are so cute !!
Good Luck to everyone !!!!
Growing up, the tradition was turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes & gravy. Then years later, came the green bean casserole & I would make beer bread-a recipe I got from a then co-worker. Both parents are gone & I lost my brother 9 years ago. Now my husband deep fries the turkey, I make my mom’s cornbread dressing & other sides.
The best Thanksgiving tradition for me is spending the day with family. Sometimes we travel to visit our daughter’s family out of state and sometimes we spend Thanksgiving with family closer to home.
Turkey, stuffing, cranberries and pumpkin pie…definitely a family tradition!
I would love to win and share these delicious-looking cookies with my family.
the only thing we do is get together with family for turkey dinner. When my husband and I were first married he was a dairy farmer and we would go up to 4 places to be able to see all our family every holiday. Don’t know how we did it sure couldn’t now and he’s off the farm lol
Family getting together.
My favorite tradition at Thanksgiving is seeing and being together with family and enjoying all the great food. It’s such a wonderful day to enjoy great food and more importantly to be grateful and blessed to be with family.
Thanksgiving is a great time for all of us to get together. We each have our own bit to contribute. My oldest son is the turkey fryer, daughter is the stuffed turkey baker, than we have the one who brings sides, and I am the baker of pies, they better get those orders in LOL. This year is going to be great as my youngest son will be home for the holidays. His rotation with his job in the past he missed out on all the holidays for almost 10 years. So this is going to be a fun year. As you get older it is the gathering that is most important. Hope all have a great holiday.
Our Thanksgiving tradition is to have ham with cheesy scalloped potatoes and a green bean casserole. We have this meal whether my husband and I are alone for Thanksgiving Day, or we go over to share with my mom. These tins are so gorgeous, it will be hard to choose just one!
A tradition, since I was a child, is cooking the turkey in brown paper grocery sack. Wonderful, juicy bird and the drippings make phenomenal gravy. At the table, we always say a special grace and say what we are most thankful for that year.
A Thanksgiving tradition we have is always making a sweet potato casserole dish and a cranberry Jello salad with pecans and crushed pineapple. It is sooo good!
I love cookies and I really love your videos
Cookie drawing: A few of my favorite things for Thanksgiving. Always watch the parade on TV, Have a Turkey roasting in the oven – making the whole house smell like Turkey adding to making the day special. Hot Chocolate for breakfast and sometimes cinnamon rolls. Then Always watch football games- Always cheering for Detroit Lions (I was raised in Michigan). I LOVE Thanksgiving.
Our Thanksgiving has always been all about family gathering together. Grandparents, parents, children, children’s children, aunts, uncles & cousins. We always do a potluck with the host family providing the turkey. Crockpot stuffing generally means a couple of crockpots full. We are always thankful for seeing one another.
I have never heard of Leckerlee cookies, so would love to try them. P,ease enter me in your draw. Thanks for starting my day with a smile Pat. I’m always thankful for that. Have a great week.
We have a couple traditions: on one side of my family, we also have a “scavenger hunt” game which spans the full length of my great uncle’s farm. One the other side, we take all the kids to the movie theater after the Thanksgiving meal and nap.
T. Duncan meant to write: I would love to win a tin of cookies, not a ton of cookies😂
I would love to win a ton of the cookies! The food and fellowship at Thanksgiving are great! We have a large family gathering which makes it fun! Thank you for all you do.
Our family tradition has always been everyone saying what they are thankful for as we sit around the table enjoying our Thanksgiving dinner.
our tradition is using the same recipes and having the same meal each year. Nothing better than my mom’s cornbread dressing.
Favorite thanksgiving tradition is a jello recipe our family affectionately calls pink foo foo! Would love the Leckerlee cookies! There is no such thing as a bad cookie!!
Thanksgiving tradition is always held at our home by having family members (friends are invited as well!) share stories , memories, catch up on latest happenings besides eating, of course!!
Our Thanksgiving yradition is to go around the table and see what we are thankful for. I’m sure that is what a lot of families do, but we are carrying on this tradition with our grandchildren so that they will also pass down this legacy.
I lived in Germany for four years and the thought of these cookies bring back such good memories for me.
I would love to win one of these cookie tins to share!!
🦃🦃Black Friday shopping is our favorite tradition besides getting together as family for turkey, ham and all the fixin’s!!
I love the chocolate cookies, if they’re still available!!😎
Just a few times per year, we take the time to to set a splendid table to gather around. Thanksgiving is one of those times. Sparkling table settings of china and crystal and shimmering candles create a festive setting. We sit together and enjoy each others company, sharing food and conversation. Thanks for the opportunity to win those yummy Lebkuchen cookies that I enjoyed in Germany.
Hi Pat, growing up in a different country we did not celebrate thanksgiving, so we don’t have a favorite tradition, but I do like to decorate my house with all the fall decorations and colors. If I win a really liked the folk-art tin with the forest animals and no chocolate please :). Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing the cookies! My family must have pumpkin pie, no other dessert will do.
I have my kids and their families together this year. It’s the best gift of all to be thankful for! Oh, and Packer’s football after dinner is a bonus.
We always put oysters in our dressing. My mom did, her mom did and her Grandma did also. She use
To work for a wealthy family in the 1900’s and that’s how they had their dressing
One of my favorite new traditions is to have each grandchild say what they are thankful for. We have been doing this for the last few years.
I enjoy watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in the morning. Then about noon when Santa makes his appearance at the end of the parade, i am granted free reign to listen to Christmas music. Thank you for sharing these yummy looking cookies.
I would love to taste those cookies. Our Thanksgiving tradition is pretty simple. We go around the table and each of us says what we are the most thankful for this year.
I am loving how your London quilt is coming along. The Leckerlee cookies remind me of when I lived in Germany for a while. I really like the one with the forest animals on the tin. You make me hungry every time you show the cookies. Ha.
Those are the most beautiful cookies to bring out at thanksgiving so everyone can enjoy thanks pat
Oh, I love cookies! We had no special tradition except the usual pumpkin pie, turkey or ham, etc. and our family gathering. This year will be the first time without husband and dad, so it will be my two sons and one son’s wife.. We plan to deviate from the typical Thanksgiving dinner.
Hi Pat! My family loves Thanksgiving! Since I retired and considerably downsized, our new tradition is that I make most of the food ahead at my house and transport it to my daughters house where we finish the last minute cooking and have room for everyone at the same table. Our family has grown to 9 now that the grandkids all have significant others. We play games after dinner and have a wonderful time. I hope you and Greg have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is the family taking the time to get together. As a child our whole extended family got together so there were grandparents, uncles, aunts, and lots of cousins. When we moved to another state, that did not happen as often. My parents still made Thanksgiving an important day with my immediate family. I have tried to keep the tradition going with my children.
My family is spread out across the US and Europe. When we do get together, it’s usually for a wedding or funeral. So now my favorite Thanksgiving tradition is that special Zoom call, where we all bring an hors d’oerve and a drink and share what’s new in our lives! Btw, I love lebkuchen!
Cookies sound so yummy. My favorite family thanksgiving tradition is having all the family over for a yummy meal. It’s so exciting to see our family grow with kids, spouses, grandkids and this year a great grand son!!
Our tradition was to play board games after our feast.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! For over 15 years, our family has helped run a church based community Thanksgiving dinner. I passed the torch this year, but I’ve been the main organizer for many years.
These cookies look fabulous. I would thoroughly enjoy tasting them.
Our Thanksgiving is about being together as a family and just enjoying everyone, the food is just a bonus!
What we have done for several years for Thanksgiving is go to a buffet with another couple, our cousins, since both our close families live far away. Thanks for having a fun gift to win.
Our Thanksgiving tradition is for everyone to bring something to the hosting house.
It makes a wonderful feast for all of us!
We really don’t have a tradition, except that we have the same dinner every year, my family always wants the traditional turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole and pumpkin and pecan pies. This is the one time I get out the good china and usually the silver. My granddaughters are 7 and 5 now, and the last couple of years they have helped set the table, so fun to see them arrange the table.
Thanksgiving dinner was about the only big meal my mom ever cooked (as a single mom with 4 kids if was usually a casserole or one pot meal). But she gave each of us or own dish to prepare. Mine was the gravy (and then, later, the home made cranberry relish). The tradition still continues with each of my siblings still making their dish whether we are apart or together.
One of our Thanksgiving food traditions in our family is for me to make home-made rolls. One year I bought frozen Rhodes rolls, which I think are very good, but it didn’t go over so well with our family. They teased me all year long, and YES I have returned to making my ‘famous rolls’ for Thanksgiving dinner. A special thanks goes to my very old Betty Crocker cookbook. 🙂
Our Thanksgiving tradition is to serve vanilla cream pie for dessert. It’s my late Mother-in-Law’s recipe. One of my sons has become proficient at making them. This is from scratch- no pudding mix from a box. Hope we can share some special cookies along with it.😺
