Thinking about Thanksgiving...

...and all the goodies included, yum yum yum! I can’t help but imagine the menu my mother has planned for this year's feast! Turkey, roast beef, candied yams, greens, mashed potatoes and ,THE BEST macaroni and cheese EVER
Apple pie, Pumpkin pie, and Vanilla Ice Cream... Let me stop cause I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!

So what are you having for Thanksgiving Dinner??? What's that...You havent planned the menu, you don't know how to cook? Oh you think YOUR mom makes the best Mac and Cheese??!! HMMM

Well these books arrived at Cordially Invited just in time to help those of you who have not yet planned the menu.... or those of you that dont know how to cook

This sensational cookbook features over 30 different macaroni and cheese recipes. Yes over 30! If that's hard for you to imagine let me paint the picture: Cajun Macaroni and Cheese, Hot and Spicy Macaroni and Cheese, Souffleed Oniony Macaroni and Cheese, Gratin of Penne with Articokes and Four Cheeses, and Cicatelli with Pumpkin Sage. If executed properly your family is guaranteed to thank you for the wonderful surprise, so pick up Macaroni & Cheese and start planning now.


And once you plan the menu - its time to think about table settings. Check out these great wooden salad serving set, napkin rings and coasters. (They also make great gifts if you are a guest at dinner!!!)

No matter what you decide on the menu, who has the BEST Mac and Cheese or how you set the table - as you spend time with family and friends over the holidays - BE THANKFUL!!

Show Off Your Pups!!

Dogs – they are the ultimate companion, always loyal, and oh so cute!

If you love dogs you probably can’t resist the desire to take yours with you everywhere. But as we all know, there are just some places they just cant go;but who's to say you can't show off your furry friend at the office...in a frame that is!!!

How cute are these!!!


and if those are a bit too femme for your dog try these
