KidsHappen Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 We are staying at my dd's for Thanksgiving but we only have about half the crowd we usually do so we are trying to keep it simple this year. This is the menu we came up with: Thanksgiving Dinner Deep Fried Turkey Stuffing Mashed Potatoes Gravy Sweet Potato Casserole Broccoli & Rice Casserole Sweet Corn Yeast Rolls Pumpkin Pie I think that there is one more side dish but I can't remember what it is. My SIL is doing all of the cooking but but everyone pretty much got to pick their favorite dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiCO Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've been vaguely paleo recently, in a low carb/ high fat kind of way. I found this menu on a blog, and I'm doing it! I'm also doing a recipe or two from this site. Turkey Prosciutto Wrapped Pears Turkey Sausage stuffing (without bread for me) Cranberry sauce Paleo Holiday Yams or Roasted Sweet Potatoes- not sure yet. Braised Cabbage & Bacon Paleo Pumpkin Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenL Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I haven't even thought about breakfast yet, but maybe a casserole would be a good idea! My sister and her 2 kids are coming over since her dh has to work, so there will be the 4 of us, my mom who is visiting from NH, and her family. We'll be eating... Turkey with gravy Sweet potato casserole (no marshmallows on top - I have a better recipe with brown sugar and pecans) Mashed potatoes Green bean casserole Peas (and corn for my sister's kids) Parker house yeast rolls Cranberry sauce Dessert will be pumpkin creme brulee and both chocolate and pumpkin whoopie pies. I love, love, love Thanksgiving dinner! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Just 6 of us this year and the 2 older leave for 10 days the day after so we don't want tons of leftovers. The only thing the kids unanimously agreed on was pies. They want pumpkin, banana cream and pecan. brunch- breakfast casserole and fruit Starters: cheese ball with crackers and relish tray Main Meal: We are having organic turkey Fresh cranberry sauce sweet potatoe souffle refrigerator rolls spinach salad Southwest corn devilied eggs Home-made grape juice, pumpkin spice lattes and pie:001_smile: Edited November 22, 2011 by laughing lioness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 For the first time in more than 10 years, it's just the 3 of us. Usually our house is the gathering place for holidays, and while I make the entree and a few main sides, family members always bring something. I had to ask my guys for their must-haves. turkey dressing gravy mashed potatoes corn cranberry sauce homemade rolls pumpkin pie and cherry pie I *have* to have something green (ds doesn't like green beans) so I might make a side salad for myself, or I might add broccoli to the menu.

AngieW in Texas Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 There are just 5 of us. We are having ham, corn, stove top stuffing (my dh likes it), and Sister Shubert's parker house rolls. I also bought a pumpkin pie, but I have to remember to stick it in the freezer because we only like to eat it when it's frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ondreeuh Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 We decided to have Thanksgiving on our own this year, after many years of big meals with lots of people. It is just the 5 of us, so I had to limit the menu a bit to the family's *favorites*. Eta: that morning I will make breakfast casserole. Honeybaked Ham (we all like ham better than turkey) Green bean casserole (a must for dh) Parker House rolls (my must have) Dressing (cornbread) Sweet potato pudding Cranberry and orange sauce (whole berry) Chocolate chip pecan pie That sounds really good! We are just having the five of us, and we are having a similar menu. There's only so much you can cut back when everyone has their requirements :) Turkey Gravy Dressing Garlic Mashed Potatoes Squash Rolls Green Bean Casserole Sweet Potato Cranberry Bake Cranberry-Apple Sauce Pumpkin Pie We are still waiting on our turkey, pecans, and canned pumpkin. Our food has been waiting in Anchorage for over a week and we are crossing our fingers that it comes tomorrow on the plane with my daughter. If the plane doesn't come, then we'll delay Thanksgiving while we wait for the child and the goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 This is my first Thanksgiving feeding a diabetic (my bil,) so there are duplicates of some things as I try to figure this out: turkey breast herb-stuffing filled rosemary-marinated pork tenderloin mashed potatoes garlic roasted red potatoes shredded brussel sprouts sweet potatoes with marshmallows cranberry dressing Parker House rolls apple pie pumpkin roll something else that is sugar-free, I think And apparently my db's family and my parents are coming early to watch the game (we have a small TV just for the Wii, and yet they want to watch football on it here,) so I am also making appetizers/lunch/brunch for them, I guess. :D We will eat dinner late because dh has to go pick dbil up at the airport.
