OMG - we still don't have a menu for Thanksgiving...

and I just don't care. There are 5 adults and the little dude. No one can seem to agree on what to have. My husband usually cooks, but he has to work his shift at the radio station from 9-1 and my brother wants to leave somewhat early to get to a friend's house to watch the Aggie game at 7:00, so we will be having a late lunch/early dinner. I am fine with cooking (I'm not great at it) but everyone is being picky this year about what to eat and I don't care enough to make a decision.

I really hope we figure something out soon or we will be ordering pizza.

  • I say if you're cooking, you can cook whatever you want.  If they eat it, great.  If not, you have leftovers for a few days.  Make some easy things that won't stress you and enjoy the time with the family :)

  • Are you set on turkey? If not I made an awesome pork roast last year. Covered in pesto and wine. Roasted over all sorts of veggies. I was amazing. I'll find the link of you want

  • we don't ever have a menu... everyone just brings something.  you could just make the main stuff, and ask people to bring a side, bread, or dessert.

    otherwise i'd just make what you want to make, doing your best to make stuff that everyone will like.  it's not a restaurant!

  • Plan the things that YOU want to eat. Don't even worry about their petty demands. Tell them you are cooking X, Y, and Z. Anything else, they can cook/buy and bring.

  • Thanks for the great advice. We finally settled on turkey and ham to make all people moderately happy and I will select whatever sides I want.

    Star - I would love your recipe to use for Christmas when we have the same picky group over.  :-)

    A small vent - my brother is really the difficult one. He is 38, hates all Thanksgiving food, and all sauces. He'd be happy with a steak or even a burger. I think for Christmas we will just decide what we want to have and then fix him a steak and call it a day.
