Thanksgiving Menus
Ok, so we're hosting Thanksgiving again this year. Right now it looks like there will be 7 or 8 people (depending on if my sister comes).
I'm making adjustments base on last year, for example MIL was told rolls and corn pudding, she showed up with store bought rolls that were moldy the next day and regular corn. DH was so upset.
Here's what I'm thinking:
Apps:
-Brie in puff pastry with crackers
Meal:
-Small turkey and turkey breast
-Stuffing
-Rolls (maybe homemade since I'm off all week)
-Mashed potatoes
-Green Bean Casserole
-Butternut squash casserole
-Corn Pudding (maybe)
-Salad
-Gravy
-Cranberry sauce
*Asking DH about sweet potato casserole, but it's not a staple for my family.
Dessert:
-Pumpkin pie
-Pumpkin cheesecake with choc crust
-Mini apple pies
Re: Thanksgiving Menus
I'm not sure what's going on for Thanksgiving yet. Nick's dad is having Thanksgiving at his house on November 12th so they can have all the kids and grandkids and then we can be with the other families on the actual day. But that still leaves us to figure out Nick's mom and my parents.
It certainly isn't going to be at our house but if it's at my parents I'm sure I'll be responsible for Apple Cobbler that I've recently gotten good at making and Macaroni and Cheese casserole.
Nick's mom's house is large (she's turning it into a B&B) so she'll likely want to host.
We're going to my parents' this year for almost the entire week! Here's what I know we're doing so far:
Me & Drew: orange/rosemary turkey and stuffing, mashed potatotes without milk, stuffing casserole
Mom & Dad: cranberries, sweet potatoes, rolls, corn, other veggie yet to be named
We'll all be in their kitchen, so it'll be a big family time with tons of food. I seriously can't wait.
