Liz and Sam have it all: a happy marriage, a precocious preteen son named Nate, and a house that's just the right size for the three of them. Then, Liz's parents move in. Grandpa Irv is a kindly but occasionally grumpy Korean War vet who loves watching TV, bickering over politics, and spoiling his grandson. His wife Sarah is equally strong-willed, whether urging Irv to diet, questioning her daughter's parenting choices, or finding surprising success as an advice blogger.
With an estimated 50+ million Americans living in such families as of today, Freshly Squeezed is a refreshing look at newfound family togetherness after the economic collapse. Can three generations of one family share their lives, their feelings, their dwindling fortunes and a bathroom — and keep their sense of humor in the process? Pay a visit to the Freshly Squeezed family to find out! Freshly Squeezed is the brainchild of Ed Stein, an award-winning political cartoonist. He created the local comic strip, Denver Square, for the Denver Rocky Mountain News for 12 years. He lived the Freshly Squeezed life first-hand when his kids were little and his 80-year-old father moved to Denver.

Piece of cake – I do it every year! And the good thing is, that by the time I’ve finished cooking, I’m usually not hungry enough to overeat!

Hubby and I split the cooking. Him: turkey, mashed potatoes. Me: gravy, all the sides, dessert. We love to cook with wine – sometimes we even put it in the food! : D

The women should make sure they don’t try to weasel out of it with some half done think like pizza.

We have a place like that in town… it wasn’t bad, but it was different. Mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, and turkey.
