Desert Rat Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm starting tomorrow. My mom is doing the turkey/stuffing and the sweet potatoes plus a dessert. I'm baking the pies tomorrow and starting on 2 of the side dishes. I'll do the rolls and 2 more side dishes Thursday morning. Wish me luck! This is only the 2nd time I've made yeast rolls from scratch. The first time they didn't rise. I know what I did wrong, so hopefully they will be perfect!

Mrs Twain Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 No. But I am starting tomorrow with everything that can possibly be made tomorrow. And tomorrow (Wednesday) I am setting the table. I learned that trick last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xuzi Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yup. I made the cinnamon rolls for our breakfast yesturday, and some cookies today (so nothing really major). Tomorrow I'll be: thawing the pumpkin pie and cinnamon rolls brinning the turkey making the jello salad baking the bread rolls prepping the sweet potatoes for the casserole (but not actually baking it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawana Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I made cheesy broccoli rice casserole and stock for gravy yesterday. Make-ahead mashed potatoes and sweet potato souffle today. Tomorrow: 3 pies and rolls and finish the gravy. Thursday: asparagus and salad. Dh will do the turkey. Rolls will brown at the last minute.

Jen in PA Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Today I made the cranberry sauce, made the cornbread and diced the veggies for the stuffing, made the sweet potatoes, and did the pie crusts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwjx2khsmj Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I got all of my shopping done today and made a pumpkin roll. Tomorrow I'll be making cranberry sauce, apple dumplings, bourbon pecan tart, make ahead potatoes and sweet potato casserole. I'll also be picking up the tables and chairs from the rental place and getting the table set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookfiend Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Empanadas for Thanksgiving dinner! New tradition this year - already cooked and frozen. Only need to make a dessert to share. Wonderful benefit to having married into a large family! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 We are having Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night, and I just put the pecan pie in the oven. I have a ton to do, so I wanted to get an early start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I've made the cranberry sauce. I've got a ton of rolls in the freezer. I toasted the bread for the stuffing. I've made the roux for the gravy. Tomorrow I will make the stock for the gravy. I made and froze the crust for the apple pie (pumpkin pies are being brought by others) and also made the topping for the apple pie (I make french apple pies). I think that's all.

dirty ethel rackham Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Nope. I start with pies tomorrow and maybe pre-cook the sweet potatoes to make the casserole/souffle. I don't like food made too far ahead so we will be putting it all together on Thursday. Not eating until 4 so we have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
