I am so grateful for the internet! This year I have been tied to home most of the time and the internet has been my life line to friends and information. I have had the chance to learn new things and meet new people, all through this wonderful tool :)
I am thankful that I am able to spend another fall season with the people I love the most. Through all of life's ups and downs, my family and friends have been there for me to lift my spirits. It also doesn't hurt that most of them are great cooks! The joy of sharing a delicious meal prepared by people you admire is a wonderful thing that should be cherished.
Thankful that God knows better than I do and has the lives of my children in the tender-loving care.
I am grateful for winter coats, warm blankets, and hot chocolate! As the temperatures begin to drop, and being a desert-dweller originally, I am grateful for things that keep me warm.
I am so grateful for my husband and 3 kids! Also grateful that my husband was already able to find a new job after being laid off a month ago.
I am so grateful for the US military. As a new member of the military family (my husband is in the US Air Force) I get to see these amazing men and women daily. I get to see dramatic homecomings, sad deployments, and intense training. These people are so selfless and courageous, I am eternally thankful.
I am grateful for a warm house when I hear the rain and wind outside. For a husband who worked late hours each night for almost a year to build that house. And for 4 wonderful children who always try and do the right thing. I have been very blessed.
I am thankful for my health. Baby #3 due in February and I grateful that I have the opportunity to be a mom. Also, thankful for your best bites recipes that I refer to often. Some of my favorite recipes have come from here!
I am grateful for two beautiful and healthy daughters. Who could ask for more? Congrats on winning the cook-off!

For a safe and warm place to live, a weird ability to make friends quickly, and for beautiful sky-blue Kitchen Aid mixers… well, that last one is what I'm dreaming of!
So glad you guys won. I'm always grateful to see other women being successful in their talents. Way to go!
I am so, so grateful for my awesome family, our wonderful little home {and the yummy treats that come from the kitchen!} and the new life we have up here in Washington {having previously lived in Oregon my whole life}. I am also grateful for good health, our new WA friends and, of course, my testimony of the gospel.
Congratulations on your win!
I am thankful for my wonderful family, friends, and my great boyfriend. I am also very thankful that I can afford to fill my table this thanksgiving day.

Look for a community thanksgiving meal and donate an item or volunteer your time to help cook the meal so everyone can be thankful this thanksgiving day.

I am thankful for life, health, and a job! I am so grateful everyday that I can wake up in my own home, provide food for myself, and have the love and support of such wonderful friends and family. I know that others are not so fortunate and I'm constantly humbled by that thought.

I know people will judge me for writing this, but I'm five days overdue and in labor…which is the only reason I'm up at 2:45am. However, I am thankful for the labor. These 5 days have lasted forever. Why am I on the internet while IN LABOR? Just focusing on other things before I can go to the hospital. Obviously…I'm a big fan!!!
I am thankful for my supportive, wonderful husband and my incredible son. They both amaze me everyday.
Congratulations to you both! No one deserved to win more than you guys.
Congrats on your win!
I am thankful for time spent with my Granddaughter.
Your giveaways brought to mind 3 things I'm thankful for…first, the cookbook made me think of my best friend who's a chef and just moved 1000 miles away, but I still get to talk to every day. The gift card made me think…hey, even though I'm a bigger fan of Target, I'm sure grateful to have a Walmart close by for little things I need and the money savings there! The mixer made me feel grateful for my parents…the mixer I use is their little electric hand mixer they got as a wedding gift over 36 years ago and they passed it along to me when I moved away from home.
Other than what the post made me think of, one of the first things always on my list of what I'm thankful for is my little doggy curled up next to me right now.
Congrats you two!!! This fall, amongst many other things, I am thankful for modern medicine and good doctors.
I'm grateful for the commute between home, work and school. It gives me the time I need to slow down and think about all the beautiful, and sometimes not-so-beautiful, things about my life. It is in those car rides that I find the beauty in the day, the joy to face it and the peace to take home with me. :) I'm also grateful that I live with my best friend and sister. She's wonderful.
You guys are amazing! I'm so so THANKFUL for Good Health! Great Family and Wonderful Friends!
I am grateful for my 2 (almost 3!) kids, my wonderful hubby, and my nearly 70 lb dog who thinks she's a lap dog…at least she keeps me warm on the couch!
I am thankful for my husband. I love my baby boy to death and I couldn't have gotten through the past ten months without his love and support!
I am thankful each day for the children I teach and how they enrich my life. It doesn't matter how my day starts…they make it even better! I'm also thankful that I have a warm place to sleep, a roof over my head and a job to go to each day!
I am so grateful that my children our healthy – had a scare this weekend with my 6 week old. Thank God she will be okay!
This year I'm grateful for my husband who loves and cares for me. I couldn't have asked for a greater blessing.

I'm thankful for my family & true friends. I'm thankful for everything that God has blessed me with. I'm thankful for life!

I really did narrow it down :)
I am thankful that this holiday season is shaping up to be NOT overly-busy. I'm thankful we'll have time to look at holiday lights and drink peppermint hot chocolate.

And I'm especially thankful to be almost done with holiday shopping already. :)
I'm so thankful for my family this fall!
I am thankful that i have the ability to be a stay at home mom…with another baby joining our home in March!!! I'm also thankful for the doctrine our church teaches. Having 'family first' instilled at a small age has helped me attain my own little family I have now.

I am thankful for family and friends and a God who will take over my worries and handle them when I can't!

And I will be thankful when I find another job!

What's not to be grateful for. Life, challenges and all is just an amazing thing. My husband has been reading about cells. They are very complex organisms in their own right!
And that's just a cell! Exponentially combined, all kinds of life exist. What a marvelous world.

I am thankful for food bloggers! Seeing recipes and trying them for my family is not only fun, but a meal brings my family together around the dinner table. Having the family come home after a long day to gather for a good meal is one of my favorite times of day. Recently, your chicken tortilla soup was a huge hit and I'm just about to make your famous rolls for a soup party tonight. Thank YOU! I am grateful.
I am thankful that my family has stayed healthy year after year. Also for my wonderful husband, who has supported my adventure in finishing my bachelor's degree…I couldn't do any of it without him (he's a great homeschooling dad too). Graduate next summer…yay!

I am thankful that my husband is home this year to celebrate Thanksgiving. He spent last year in Afghanistan, so it is definitely nice to have him home! :)
I am thankful for so many things, like being employed, having my health. But the number one thing I'm thankful for is my family.
I'm thankful to have a healthy, functioning body that allows me to do so much! I've had several experiences lately that have reminded me not to take that for granted.

A warm home, even if it's small and rented. And wonderful family.
I'm thankful for my daughter this fall. She was born prematurely last fall and her first few weeks of life were a struggle. Now, she is a happy, healthy, silly toddler who I love more and every day (if possible)
I am thankful that I can be a Mother. I am about to have #5 and my children are truly my joy!

I am grateful for sanity and a supportive husband during a really tough semester of grad school. Also, my area is having a beautiful fall season that makes me really happy!
I am so thankful for my husband! His love & support is never ending! This year has been a rough one for me & he has been there for me every step of the way. He is my best friend. This Thanksgiving I'm grateful for him!

I have been thinking about how thankful I am for medicine–very simple, but so many in the world don't have it!
I am thankful for my family and a home to live in. They are so important to me and am so thankful for the loving people they are. I am also thankful for the plans that God knows and that I don't – he knows where we will be and he has great plans for us!
I am thankful for all of the wonderful people in blogland who help me great a wonderful home for my family – and cook good food, too!
I'm thankful for blogs! :)
I am thankful for family and this beautiful world we live in. I am grateful to be able to feed my family great food from recipes from here! Thank you!

I am grateful for having a job, a home, and loving friends and family. Don't know what life would be like without them.

Congratulations!! I'm very thankful for my husband and baby boy and the chance I have to be a wife and mother. I love this time of year and I'm grateful for the many blessings I have.
I am so grateful for my seven-week-old daughter, Anna. She has brought an added measure of peace and happiness into our home and lives. She is adored by a big brother (2 years old), Clark, who calls her "Nanna" (though it gets confusing when he's asking for a banana or to see her…). I'm grateful for my family. We live in Chicago and aren't sure what the job market will do, but we have each other. I am the most grateful that Heavenly Father has given me them. Forever.

I am thankful for a roof over our heads and that we could provide for 3 months for my sis in law, brother in law and nephew when they lost their home in the Nashville floods!

Like most other commenters, i am thankful for my family. Especially in rough times its better to be going through it together than alone.
Thanks,

I am thankful for loving friends and family who have helped us through an incredibly challenging month.
I am so, so, so thankful for my relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ. I would not be where I am today without Him. =)

I am grateful for family and friends and freedom. For religion and the knowledge that I will be with my family forever.
I am so thankful for your carmel toffee dip that I made last night for an RS activity! It was a huge hit! :) I am grateful for my family and my spiritual life. It would be a dark and depressing world without them. They bring light, life, hope, and joy into my heart and spirit.
I am grateful for my family, animals, the Savior, my friends, a job, and for my health.
I am thankful for new beginnings… after recovering from a painful divorce I have reconnected with an old love and I am now starting a new chapter in life. I also am thankful for websites like yours where I can learn and explore new recipes to share with my new family.
