Turkey Time
We are hosting this year, and I am starting to think about what we will serve and details. Plus, this board is super quiet!
What are your Thanksgiving plans?
Big group or small group?
What do you normally have on your table?
Any good recipes to share?
Anything else?
Re: Turkey Time
My little nuggets
What are your Thanksgiving plans? We go to DH's aunt and uncle's place. They are our closest relatives, geographically. So it's kind of great.
Big group or small group? I'd say big group. Since most of DHs cousin's started getting married/seriously dating and having kids the last few years, it's increased. I'd guess about 20 or so.
What do you normally have on your table? The menu is the only thing that's a little lacking to me. They typically have turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and stuffing. That's pretty much it. I tried to make a corn casserole one year that didn't go over well. I may offer to bring yams this year.
Any good recipes to share? Champagne Basted Turkey. Holy smokes is that good. Plus drinking champagne and cooking are two of my favorite hobbies. Paula Deen's Corn Casserole is also so very good.
Anything else? Since we don't host, I always do a Thanksgiving "redo" that Saturday with all of the sides *we* like and we feast on the leftovers for days. There's nothing I love more than a cold turkey sandwich on any kind of bread with mayo, salt and pepper. HEAVEN
What are your Thanksgiving plans? We will be driving up to NY the Monday before in hopes of beating some of the holiday traffic (this will be our first big trip with Henry). On Thanksgiving we always drive up to CT to celebrate
Big group or small group? Big-usually around 30 people.
What do you normally have on your table? What don't we have. Sweet potato casserole is my favorite though!
Any good recipes to share? I don't think I have ever cooked for Thanksgiving...
Anything else? I bought DH a turkey fryer for Christmas 2 years ago (it is still in the box...) Hoping to have a T-day with friends at some point.
What are your Thanksgiving plans? I'll be cooking dinner at my moms
Big group or small group? small, about 10
What do you normally have on your table? Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, Brussel sprouts, cole slaw, candied yams for my dad
Any good recipes to share? I sauté my Brussel sprouts with bacon
Anything else?
What are your Thanksgiving plans? J's parents house, which is local.
Big group or small group? There's between 15-20 people, so I'd say medium.
What do you normally have on your table? Standard T-Day fare, nothing crazy.
Any good recipes to share? I hate canned cranberry crap, but this homemade version is awesome (and super easy).
Anything else? I love the idea of a second Thanksgiving with your friends! Hopefully my friends are down.
