We say it every year, but Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday and our favorite time of year. From preparing everything for winter to turning our focus more inside, it's a season of slowing down, being intentional and filled with thankfulness.
In this year's Thanksgiving episode of the Pantry Chat Podcast, we're sharing many of the things we're thankful for, including each other, our children, community and even technology!
