tracy0504 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I'm traditional when it comes to Thanksgiving Dinner so I don't really change up the menu too much ... I also go to relatives for potluck every year (yes, I still cook my own dinner), not sure what is on that menu, but I'm sure a turkey is involved... this year a request was made for my spaghetti salad (as an appetizer), sweet potato pie and apple crisp so that's what I'll be taking... Here's my tentative menu for home, some things I'm still questioning if I'll feel like doing: Roasted TurkeyDressingBaked macaroni and cheeseSweet Potato casserole - two different kindsCollard GreensPotato Salad?? (may take this off the menu this year depending on how I feel)RiceCranberry sauce - homemade and the canned kindHot water cornbread??Jiffy cornbreadHawaiian sweet rollsSweet potato pies - 5 totalApple crisps - 3 totalCoconut Pound Cake??Ice Cream 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 My mama still cooks the big dinner, same every year, but that's getting harder so me and my sister are trying to help. But of course when we offer or ask what to do... she says she's got it. But I always make cranberry sauce, and sister is making a cobbler and another veggie food dish. And I'll do something else too, probably squash and a dessert as well.

HanShotFirst Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Ham, fried potatoes, Mac & cheese, chocolate pie and spice cake for us. We aren’t big turkey & dressing eaters so ham it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marathonshopper Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Our family is very traditional for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.

For Thanksgiving we will have: TurkeyDressingMashed PotatoesGravyCorn Green BeansCandied Sweet PotatoesDeviled EggsBroccoli Rice CasseroleMac & Cheese, but it’s not regular Mac & CheeseRollsCharcuterie Board (we always have a relish tray with pickles, olives, sometimes veggies and some dip but this year my teenage nieces want To do a Charcuterie Board. When I asked what they were going to put on it, they said, pickles, olives, veggies, fruit…so, a RELISH TRAY..LOL!!Cranberry Sauce - jellied and homemade berry sauceCarrot CakePumpkin Pie with homemade whipped creamChocolate PieButterscotch Pie Christmas will have cookies and candies added to the dessert table and everyone will get containers to take their favorites home with them.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
