whats your thanksgiving menu

[lockedhearts]

It's just me and hubby this year:

Turkey
Stuffing
Creamed Corn
Rolls
Gravy
Pumpkin Pie


I have 5 days off from work to recover from all the food!

Well, MIL is coming for the 1st time since 2005 so I guess you can probably figure what we will be having.

But if all goes well, we will have a nice 26 1/2 pound turkey with dressing, creamed potatoes, green beans, homemade biscuits and a homemade apple pie.

Then, my side of the family will be having a 27 pound turkey with about the same listed above, except we know how to have fun.

Then of course, my family that I live with on a daily basis, hubby & kids, will have left overs.

Mmm, this is such a delicious thread idea!

- Roast turkey, rubbed with olive oil and sage
- Brown sugar-glazed ham with pineapple rings and cherries (my specialty)
- Stuffing (from scratch, not a box)
- Homemade mashed potatoes
- Homemade turkey gravy
- Sweet potatoes
- Green bean casserole with fresh sauteed mushrooms (I am making this, too)
- Cauliflower and broccoli in cheese sauce
- Jellied cranberry sauce
- Garden salad
- Rolls
- Relish tray (cheese, pickles, olives)
- Deviled eggs
- Turkey-shaped butter from Gordon Food Service
- Homemade pies: cherry, strawberry (I'm making those two kinds), apple, blueberry, pumpkin pie and cream pie
- Vanilla ice cream

Now I am drooling.

100 rolls?? How many do the chickens eat the next day? I have a houseful and am lucky if I use a dozen.
