While the Feast is Cooking

A very popular post last year was our Thanksgiving Word Find puzzle. We designed it as a fun reminder of the key points in a year’s worth of information, and to provide quick links to review full articles.

So, based upon rave reviews, we present: The 2022 version of the Foodtalk4you Word Find Puzzle – use it as a helpful review, a conversation starter, or as something to while away the time when everything is in the oven because you do not want to watch football.

Let’s dive right in with a quick reminder about each selected prompt, along with the link back to the original post.
