It's Turkey Day New Iberia and I hope you are celebrating with family, food, and plenty of fun on this Thanksgiving!
We've been in the kitchen all day, have already hit round one at the table and we are all now sitting back to catch our breath so we can head back to the kitchen for round two! If you are looking for some tips to use up that leftover turkey, be sure to read 5 Ways To Use Up That Leftover Turkey (Without Getting Sick of It). Looks like some great recipes to change up one of your dinners this week!
We also have a guest writer this week, my daughter, Mikayla Barletto, President of the Iberia Parish 4H Junior Leaders Program. She is promoting the upcoming Winter Wonderland Dance sponsored by the Iberia Parish Junior Leader Program for 4H members happening next month. All 4th through 6th grade members of 4H are invited to attend and bring a non-4H member as a guest. Read more about the dance and how your child can become a 4H member.
Thanksgiving officially kicks off the start of the busy holiday season and our delivery workers will be busy New Iberia to Morgan City! Say Thanks to Your Neighborhood Delivery Crew With a Treat Basket! It's an easy way to say thanks and teach the kids about gratitude at the same time.
