On this week's episode I share a very personal story of the loss of my son twenty years ago this Thanksgiving and how it has made me grateful I knew him. I am also sharing a yummy cocktail recipe for a Cranberry Martini, 10 tips on how to prepare for a dinner party, some ideas for ice breakers to help your guests get to know each other, and a delicious heirloom recipe from my mother for sweet potato delight.
