Wildfleurs -> Thanksgiving Menu Plans - Calling all Foodies (11/15/2006 1:46:49 PM)
Hi Everyone, I figured I would start a thread on peoples menu plans for Thanksgiving. Because I'm working and having meetings up to the day before I'm keeping my menu simple, but trying an organic turkey out this year (I'm hoping it works out well!). Anyways I'd love to hear from other people about what they are planning to cook, this is my menu: Appetizers Miniature Beef Wellingtons Cheese and chilli dip Shrimp cocktail Main Course Honey and Maple Brined Turkey with giblet gravy Cornbread, sausage, sage, and apples stuffing Green beans with mushrooms Maple glazed yams with oranges and cranberries Steamed Cauliflower Fresh Croissants Tomato basil soup Dessert Sweet potato pie New York Style Cheese cake with balsamic strawberries and whipped cream C~

Where are the tots? Sorry, Friends reference. Other than that you accomplished making me very hungry. Very lucky guests! I have to work this Thanksgiving so I cannot be with my family and help cook. I really like this holiday.

well, we're having both turkey and ham, not sure about the veggies yet, but i know we're having dinner rolls and i'm in charge of baking the desserts. i'm making lemon pie, a couple of chocolate pies, a Dutch Apple Crumb pie, a cherry pie, banana pudding and a peach cobbler.

It sounds delicious, but I guess I'm just a traditionalist.... Appetizers: Relish trays with green & black olives, celery & carrot sticks with dip Main course: Oven-roasted turkey with plain old sage stuffing that has bits of giblets in it Mashed potatoes & gravy with subtle lumps Candied sweet potatoes with melted marshmallow slightly burnt in the oven Green bean/fried onion/mushroom soup casserole Corn Cranberry jelly, ceremoniously removed from the can by cutting off both ends and sliding upward Pillsbury rolls, bottoms slightly burnt in the oven Ice water in Grandma's special crystal glasses Dessert: Pumpkin pie with Cool Whip Later on: Turkey sandwiches on white bread with Miracle Whip Pumpkin pie with Cool Whip Beer

We're either ordering catering from somewhere (my choice), or getting the stuff for the basic dishes we like and cooking them. It's just the three of us this year.

Well, I'll spend most of Thanksgiving at my brother's, so that'll take care of that, but we always cook/buy a bit no matter what. Things that may be found in my abode come Turkey day: 1 or 2 slabs of Yellow Rose ribs a ham steak, cooked with brown sugar, cinamon, and a bit of secret sauce some turducken golden, flaky buttermilk biscuits cornbread dressing (with a bit of deer sausage if some is to be found) roasted new potatoes with butter and pepper sauce apple pie or lemon-chocolate pie with pecan and cool whip topping

Windchymes is unbeatable in this thread. And this is why: relish tray. Thank you for bringing back memories of my dear grandma. No meal at her house was complete without a relish tray. Usually it consisted of pickles, celery and radishes. But it would change from time to time. In her opinion it was a sin not to have a relish tray.

quote: Amaretto Biscotti Torte yum I have it easy on Thanksgiving. My mom does all of the baking. I go over in the morning, help her and wash dishes as we dirty them. It's enjoyable for me, it's immediate family, and some cousins who drive an hour to hang out with us. Then later it's pumpkin pie (with tons of cool whip) and football!
