Welcome to week 3 of 7 in our Progressive Dinner Blog Hop. Back at the beginning of this exciting Holiday Menu Planning event I sent out an Progressive Dinner invitation. Did you get a chance to see it? If you didn’t get a chance to see it then you can check it out in my Progressive Dinner Invitation post where you can see the beautiful full color magazine our hostess Glenda from Busy at Home created to announce the big event. It will also give you a sneak peek into what you can expect for the upcoming weeks of our Progressive Dinner Holiday Blog Hop Event.
What is a Progressive Dinner?
So what is a Progressive Dinner you might be asking? Well for 7 weeks myself and four other bloggers will each be sharing one course of a holiday dinner menu from appetizers to dessert in a round up style post.
By the end of the seven weeks each of us will have shared a Main course, 2 side dish recipes, an appetizer, a dessert recipe and a pot luck or gift from the kitchen recipe.
Below you will find the schedule of the recipes I will be sharing for each week and what giveaway will be available that week. You will find my fellow Blog Hop Bloggers Roundup of Progressive Dinner recipes at the bottom of each weekly post.

If you have a large family or you normally host holiday dinners you have probably only cooked a whole turkey for your holiday dinners. But what if you don’t have a big family and making a whole turkey is just too much turkey for your size family. You can still enjoy turkey for holiday meals. Roasting a turkey breast is the perfect solution to holiday cooking for a small family.

Farberware Cookware review:
When it comes to cookware I’ve learned a few things over the years. The most important lesson I have learned is to buy a quality brand you know you can trust. Farberware is a brand I have bought over the years and have always been very happy with. The pots and frying pans are quality cookware that lasts forever. I have a set of saucepans and a huge stock pot that was a Christmas gift over ten years ago that I am still using.
This set of cookware is made of the same high quality I know I will still be using for many years from now. I love that the medium size saucepan has pouring spouts on both sides of the pan.
Connect with Farberware on the web.

Your MIL is pretty smart. Most of my family will only eat white meat but I still like to cook the whole turkey.
