Graduation season is right around the corner. For the first time in a few years things seem a bit more normal. I remember my oldest son’s graduation from elementary school. Because of COVID he had a drive by graduation. It was nice but definitely not the traditional way for a graduation. My second son will be graduation elementary school in just a few months and finally a regular ceremony! Perfect to celebrate and share graduation cards with all my loved ones. Basic Invite announcements cards are perfect for graduation season!

For dinner I made a buttery garlic shrimp pasta. I have to admit I have been wanting pasta lately and my little one really enjoys it. It’s also an excuse to make it more often. First of all it’s easy, quick and very filling. Pasta is definitely a dish for those busy school nights. On top of that, the shrimp cooks in just about the same time your pasta cooks! I made this dish with the thought I could make it for Christmas Eve or Christmas. Pasta and seafood are dishes I lean towards for the holidays. Maybe because they are comforting dishes. Garlic Shrimp Pasta is easy but can be made as fancy as you want it!

Anyway, my favorite turkey recipe is herb and citrus. Here are the steps I take to make a delicious Thanksgiving Turkey!
