Juniper Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I couldn't find one of these for this year so I figured I would start one. Please post your menu! Menu Horderves-Reindeer mash Ham with a cranberry orange glaze Mashed potatoes with cream cheese, sour cream and chevre Fresh green bean casserole (sorta, I saute mushrooms, onion, garlic, and beans and then add to a simple white sauce) Yum! Brussel sprouts~prepared similar to green beans, without white sauce and add roasted pecans. (all of my kids LOVE brussel sprouts!) Stuffing pan drippings gravy Croissants cranberry sauce Dessert-Pumpkin pie Drinks-Sparkling red grape for the kids wine spiced cider I am excited, because this year the kids are able to help a lot more! The fact that they enjoy cooking is just gravy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest inoubliable Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) We do things a bit differently... but it's Thanksgiving dinner just the same! Chickpea cutlets with mushroom sauce Roasted broccoli Mashed potatoes Broccoli salad - yeah, we really love our broccoli around here! Sausage apple cranberry stuffing - our first year attempting this with a vegan sausage Dinner rolls Cranberry sauce I have a couple of vegan pumpkin pie recipes that we wanted to try out so the kids and I drew numbers. We're each going to make one, from a different recipe, and then vote on which recipe gets to stick around. Wine for DH and I, spiced apple cider for kiddos. We'll probably all end up with water, though. Maybe hot chocolate later in the evening with pie. ETA: Butternut squash soup! I can't believe I forgot to put that in there. We LOVE butternut squash soup! Edited November 20, 2012 by inoubliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoObvious Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Great thread! My dh and girls will spend all day tomorrow making pies. They've narrowed it down to FIvE kinds! This was something his grandmother did each year with the grand kids. They also each got to make their own mini-pie. We are a community host to a Chinese grad student, so he'll be joining us Thursday for: Turkey Gravy Cranberry sauce Dressing Mashed potatoes Green bean casserole Candied yams Rolls And probably broccoli And five kinds of pie!!! We never have room in the fridge for it all. Last year It took me weeks to find and clean all the caked on mereingue in my fridge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 We're on our own this year and since the dc don't like turkey we'll be grilling salmon. Sides include green beans (sauteed, not casseroled), salad, mashed and sweet potatoes (I'm the only one who prefers sweet). Pumpkin pie, whipped cream, fruit for dessert. It will be simple, but I think we'll all enjoy it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjzimmer1 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 My mom is hosting so while I don't know the "official" menu she is not very adventurous so I can probably guess pretty close. Mom's part Turkey mashed potatoes gravy regular stuffing and then a smaller pan that she will pollute with raisins that only her and my grandma will eat. sweet potatoes that only mom and grandma will eat corn My sister is making cooked red cabbage that only sister, mom and grandma will eat and the rest of us will have to suffer with the smell of death in the house pumpkin pies (my nephew is making these) some other dessert because both of my sisters hate pumpkin pie some other appetizers to fill around my list Can you tell which parts I don't like? Other sister some kind of mixed non alcholic drinks/punch Me Asiago cheese bread Honey whole wheat bread Maybe dinner rolls if I feel ambitious pineapple chunks (aldi's had a great sale) chips, taco dip and some other dip deviled eggs jello salad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingersmom Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 We go to my brothers for Thanksgiving so we celebrate the day after. No one likes turkey so it is a bird free meal. :) My son is having a chicken souvlaki from his favorite restaurant. I am making a pork tenderloin for myself and my daughter will probably have no main course. We are making an amazing cornbread stuffing with sausage that we will all eat too much of and apple pie that my kids will make (and try to eat the whole pie in one sitting). We may have mashed potatoes or some other side dish if I get in a cooking mood. Untraditional and we like it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to mention that, if you don't already have what you're using, the Field Roast smoked apple sage vegan sausage is AWESOME and wonderful in stuffing. I have made a cornbread stuffing with this sausage the last few years and it is to die for. Even carnivores dig it. For the first time ever, I'm not cooking; we're heading to a friend's house. So I have no idea what the entire menu is! Because we're all vegetarians, I will be bringing a veg roast of some sort to stand in for turkey (I think it's going to be the Gardein brand stuffed celebration roast). Also, I am bringing dessert, so I'll be making the traditional pumpkin and apple pies, as well as a chocolate pecan pie and anything else I decide to throw together between now and then.

momto2Cs Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Chinese food, at the beach, if the weather cooperates. If not, Chinese food in front of the fireplace at home. Yes, I'm serious. My mom and sister are doing Thanksgiving with their church people, my brother goes to a friend's, my MIL is busy, etc., so it is just the four of us. We might do a "second string" Thanksgiving later on, with roasted chicken, cranberry relish, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy, a big salad, pumpkin pie, and the Winter Mince pie from Deborah Madison's Local Flavors. I'm busy planning out my XMas Eve menu, when all the family comes over, so I'll share that instead. We do lots of finger foods: Baked ham Bacon-wrapped jalapeno thingies Tomato-parmesan tartlets Cucumber-salmon bites Caramelized onion bruschetta Mushroom turnovers (Trader Joe's, these are the only appetizers I don't make myself) Crudites with a Greek yogurt dip A big green salad with avocado, fresh mandarin orange wedges, and a citrusy dressing Mini salted caramel cheesecakes (I'm making them in a mini-muffin pan, so they'll be very small) Winter-mince tartlets And a Buche de Noel with meringue mushrooms. I add crushed candy-canes to the filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, from the cookbook! They are, indeed, delicious! I had planned on making the stuffing from scratch. You know the whole steam-up-vegan-sausage-in-foil thing? But.. :crying: I cannot find the recipe for the stuffing! I printed it - I KNOW that I did! And, I can't find it. And, it's not bookmarked. And, so I'm kinda freaking out. I know it was a sausage apple cranberry stuffing and made with sourdough - and only because I scribbled that down hastily on a napkin while I was planning the menu out. Help? Do you have a link to the recipe that you use or can you PM me? I'm headed to the grocery store tonight to pick up some last minute stuff and I'm going to look for the Field Roast sausage. Our options are limited around this area, so I hope I can find it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I love seeing everyone's menus. I normally love Thanksgiving, but am not up to doing or going to a big dinner this year. My mom is coming over and bringing mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, her version of green bean casserole which involves Golden Mushroom Soup and real onion rings, and possibly stuffing, although she's the only one who will eat it, so I don't know if she'll bother. I don't have the desire to try a gluten-free stuffing. I bought half a turkey breast and two drumsticks to roast, sweet potatoes to bake, carrots and parsnips to roast, rolls, and I'll probably make some corn to appease the children.

Harriet Vane Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 It's a completely ridiculous spread for just us and dear mil and fil, but the kids really, really wanted both the traditional fixings and the special Polish stuff, and I just didn't have the heart to say them nay. Salad--greens with strawberries, feta, almonds, and balsamic dressing Rolls Turkey Stuffing gravy mashed potatoes with cream cheese and chives sweet potato souffle peas Mil's creamy green jello--hopefully she'll make it with real ingredients rather than low-fat :) Polish sausage piroghis sauerkraut Pumpkin pie Mixed berry crumble whipped cream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 For the first time in nearly 20 years, I'm not hosting Thanksgiving. My dss and ddil live with her parents. It's a long story, but their house is on the market and for various reasons, they can't live there right now. His in-laws live closer to both of their work places than we do. Anyway, dss loves to cook and has said he'd like to take over Thanksgiving dinner. His mil was happy to turn her kitchen over to him. I don't know what he has on the menu, but I'm bringing: homemade cranberry sauce homemade dinner rolls sweet potato casserole I'm going to try and duplicate my mother's famous marinated artichoke hearts. She never had a recipe, just used olive oil, oregano, and copious amounts of fresh garlic. Dh and dss love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
