Let’s do another movie and show recap, k? I hear a lot of you enjoy them! Only two weeks… count them… TWO, until Catching Fire is in theaters! I’m super ridiculously excited. Are you going to see it in theaters or waiting for DVD? I used to be the wait for it on DVD kind of person but some movies I just really can’t manage to wait because I’m so excited for it. This happens to be one of them. I’m also thinking there’s a chance I might see the next Thor movie in theaters. It looks good!

So, we just watched White House Down the other night. And while I definitely enjoyed Olympus Has Fallen way more, I still really liked this one. They were similar but different. I guess if you don’t have high expectations for the movie, you might like it but if you’re one to over critique movies then maybe not so much.

Also, kind of like how I became totally obsessed with watching Friday Night Lights … I’m now that way with Alias. At least with this series you don’t become obsessed with the characters, more just the show and plot. I wish I could just do a full on Alias marathon but there aren’t enough hours in the day for that. I’d never get anything done!

Have you ever done marathon sessions for shows? Which ones?

I’m totally one of those people that loves basic stuffing. I look forward to the stuffing. Don’t mess with my stuffing, k? But I promise, if you love cornbread (and of course sausage), this stuffing is for you! It’s got a little bit of everything – cornbread, sausage, spices and veggies… and sweet cranberries. They pair perfectly together. Not only will this dish bring fun flavors to your Thanksgiving table, it brings color with it!

If you bake up a batch of cornbread muffins, you’ll already have cornbread ready to go for this stuffing! Nothing beats a truly homemade Thanksgiving, especially when it’s easy (and definitely flavorful). Have fun this Thanksgiving and try something new, like this cornbread and sausage stuffing!

    I am totally going to see catching fire in the theater. Love! I’ve watched marathons of House of Cards on Netfilx and Pretty LIttle Liars. I’m sure the more but can’t think of them now :)

    Cornbread stuffing is the best!! We don’t usually have it at Thanksgiving at my house so I always make it in the weeks before to enjoy with Shane :)
