Welcome to Tonja’s Table. I have been inspired by many friends and family to share my recipes and love for cooking.
I’m a traditionalist when it comes to Thanksgiving. I love the recipes handed down from our families–not only because they are sooo good—they are nostalgic too. I trust you have those same recipes in your family and I don’t like to mess with a good thing. I do however, like to ward off the vultures…
