OMG Worthy Reads, Week 60
In this week’s Worthy Reads you will find a turkey roasting chart, a turkey broth recipe, a sweet potato casserole recipe, a gorgeous mountain home and more.
Happy Thanksgiving week! I am excited for the arrival of my in-laws today. We have a fun-filled week ahead.
This past Saturday we attended the last home football game for Ohio State for the regular season. It was cold and rainy but there was a huge bright spot to the game.
A young boy walked on to the field with our team mascot. His military mom who had been stationed in Japan appeared on the scoreboard screen. She said she was sorry to miss his first Ohio State football game and that she sent him her love. It gave me chills!
She then appeared in full uniform, running across the field to surprise her son. OMG! The tears were flowing freely.
I can still cry thinking of this and the sacrifices our military make for us. I am thankful this Thanksgiving for those serving our country.
Now, on to my Worthy Reads for this holiday week. Enjoy.
1010 Park Place
My post at 1010 Park Place this past week was all about Beautiful Holiday Staircases. I love the fruit used in the holiday decorating in the foyer below. Head on over to my post for additional inspiration.
Recipe of the Week
Blogger Julie Blanner shared a copycat recipe for Ruth’s Chris Sweet Potato Casserole. If you are not familiar with Ruth’s Chris, it’s a famous steak house. This isn’t a recipe you would make every day but certainly worth the calories for Thanksgiving Day!
Turkey Roasting Times
Here’s a great reference chart for How Long to Cook Your Turkey found on Time.
Room of the Week
If it’s going to be cold outside, you might as well have a view of the snow-covered mountains, right? One of my favorite things about skiing out west were the breathtaking views! When skiing at Deer Valley, Utah, we had the pleasure of touring several homes right off the slopes. A roaring fire and the mountain view makes it worth being in cold weather. This beautiful home was found at Elegant Residences.
Turn Turkey Bones into Turkey Broth
Don’t throw your Thanksgiving turkey carcass away. It’s so easy to make a flavorful broth that you can portion into smaller containers and freeze for future use. I make a similar one to Katie’s at Mom’s Kitchen Handbook. It is so much better than canned broth!
Safe travels to those that are traveling for the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! May your blessings be many!

9 Ways to Make Your Life Better with the Danish Concept of Hygge
I came across this article 9 Ways to Make Your Life Better with the Danish Concept of Hygge in Town & Country Magazine. Frankly, I had never heard of the word Hygge. Have you?
“Pronounced “hoo-ga,” this Danish concept cannot be translated to one single word but encompasses a feeling of cozy contentment and well-being through enjoying the simple things in life.”
So what’s the big deal about Hygge and why am I sharing it? Well, I found it interesting that “this national obsession with all things cozy is credited as one of the reasons why Denmark is always at the top of the list of the world’s happiest countries, despite their infamously miserable winters.”
I love the positive spin hygge puts on their life. It’s something we should all work at.
2 Ingredient All Natural Homemade Face Masks
This chart of 2 ingredients all natural homemade face masks had me at “2 ingredients”. That’s doable! The mask and other great tips can be found at Indian Spot.
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.

I am so thankful that the ice storm that was predicted to hit Columbus never came. We had a busy weekend with two nights of having guests for dinner.
