Now....try to make your day easy. One way I make it easy is using Stove Top stuffing. Yes, I know, I know. Don't judge me. LOL. It takes five minutes and VOILA. :-) Here's the rest of my menu.
Turkey (duh)Mashed potatoes (I do mine in a pressure cooker - it's quicker)
Gravy (I can make part of it ahead of time and add it to the pan drippings from the turkey)
Stuffing (Stove Top - lots! It takes five minutes!)
Peas (required - Tim's request)
Green bean casserole (trying a new recipe this year - crockpot)
Rolls (making ahead of time)
My mom is bringing turnip (I LOVE turnip)
Dessert (always the biggest part of the meal!!)
Pumpkin pie (made ahead because Tim doesn't like it warm)
Pecan pie (made ahead because I can)
Pudding pie (one of the kids can make ahead of time)
Apple pie (that's a new request from Peter - he's making that!)
Cranberry sauce (from a can - DUH!)
Apple cider
Water
Milk
Coffee & tea
Wow - putting it all down shows me that I really don't have that much to do the day of....cool!!! Just watch the parade and then the football games!!
What do you have for Thanksgiving? What food makes it "officially" Thanksgiving for you??
