Thanksgiving Menu

[valanhb]

I just love Thanksgiving. I love cooking for Thanksgiving! And I'm always looking for more ideas for NEXT Thanksgiving (or Christmas, depending on what we decide to have...)

What's on your Thanksgiving Menu? Here's mine:

Roast Turkey
Stuffing (I actually do stuff the turkey itself, and add extra time to the cooking so it's done. I make my stuffing extra moist so I've never had a problem with it drying out the turkey.)
Turkey gravy
Mashed-Baked Potatoes
Corn (not sure if we'll do anything special with the corn)
Asparagus
Yams with marshmallows
Jellied Cranberry Goo..I mean Sauce (that's for Earl

)
Rolls
Pumpkin Pie

Basically - WAY too much for 2 people, but we like the leftovers.

I think Thanksgiving has to be one of my favorite holidays!

Last year we hosted Thanksgiving at our apartment and my parents and Brendan's parents met for the first time.

It went so well that this year my mom is hosting Thanksgiving and she invited Brendan's parents this year! The tradition we started last year however was, "potluck thanksgiving" Everyone brings something different so that one person doesn't have to do all the cooking. As far as I know this is the menu so far:

Turkey
Stuffing
Gravy
Brendan's Mom's famous loaded mashed potatoes
Candied Yams
Green Bean Casserole
Salad
Pumpkin Gingerbread Triffle
some chocolate pie concoction

YUM!

I'm having whatever Thanksgiving meal the restaurant Dad and I are eating at offers

 

[sweetiecat3]

turkey
stuffing
mashed potatoes
peas & carrots
corn
cranberry sauce
rolls
buiscits
(quite plain and traditional, but that's the way we like it!!)
...
chocolate-chip cookies
apple pie
cherry pie
fudge
'Funmediddles'...made up by my great-grandmother, a family tradition: made from left-over pie crust flattened out, sprinkled with sugar & cinammon, rolled up, and sliced then baked. Not the healthiest treat ever, but very tasty!

Just made ALL of the desserts...today! went shopping a couple days ago for everything else. We're having a lot of family over, too.

I think there's going to be a lot of that, too! LOL I almost forgot too...I have some excellent wine from Ohio in a Semi-Sweet Merlot that should be excellent with the turkey!

 

[dixie_darlin]

Whatever my mom and Aunt cook!

We are using Alton Brown's recipe for brining a turkey, then will just roast it tomorrow (brining it today).
Mashed cauliflower
Fresh Asparagus w/butter
Good Old Country Stuffing (recipe by Paula Dean)
Rolls - for dh
homemade cranberry relish that is to die for (uses orange zest and maple syrup)
gravy of course!
Pumpkin Pie (Paula Dean's recipe, made with cream cheese, it is the best pumpkin pie recipe I've ever had) w/vanilla whipped cream

Snack lunch: (we eat late)
spinach dip with raw brocoli and cauliflower
my low carb sausage rolls w/ a homemade dijonnaise
crabstuffed mushrooms
celery stuffed with kalamata olive/cream cheese mix

Tonight, I will have as part of my dinner, my scalloped oyster casserole...easier than trying to have this with everything else on Thanksgiving

With leftovers on Saturday, we will have Rachael Ray's "Orange You Glad It's Thanksgiving" soup - an orange/squash soup that is to die for.

You are all making me hungry! I am flying to my sister's house in Tucson tomorrow morning. I hear that she has ordered a catered meal with a smoked turkey as the centerpiece. No clue what else is on the menu this year.

In a few weeks, we're going to have a Thanksgiving dinner at home with our friends who are also having a weird Thanksgiving this year. I think we'll serve:

Crab dip & shrimp cocktail

Turkey with bread stuffing
Smoked ham (we'll smoke it with apricot wood)
Mashed potatoes
Mushroom gravy
Cranberry sauce
Green bean casserole
Some other veggies
Warm rolls
And whatever anyone else brings

And for dessert - pumpkin pie of course! And maybe cookies and apple cake.

And lots of wine!

So many of the talk shows for the past week have done nothing but discuss how to make the perfect turkey. It really got me hungry for turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
