Finalized . . .

Yep, Mama and I spent quite a while on the phone this morning getting everything straight, plotting, planning, and yes, finalizing our Thanksgiving menu. I'll be going to get her on Tuesday so we can spend most of Wednesday cooking and prepping things that can be done ahead. And she's bringing a few things that she'll be making ahead, like sweet potato pies and chocolate delight pie.

Now never mind that there will be three (3) or possibly five (5) people here for Thanksgiving! Because Thanksgiving and Christmas are two days that we go all out, full tilt, and make it special, especially where food is involved. Here is our menu:

Roast Turkey

Homemade Dressing and Giblet Gravy

Green Beans

Bourbon Glazed Carrots

Cheesy Corn Pudding*

Candied Sweet Potatoes*

Creamy Slaw

Potato Salad

Congealed Cranberry Salad

Deviled Eggs

Cream Cheese Pound Cake**

Chocolate Delight Pie

Sweet Potato Pie

Cherry Cheese Pie

Ambrosia

Sweet Tea

* means recipe is coming soon!

** means there's been a change in plans - Mama is making Cherry Cheese Pies, and I just don't think we need the pound cake, so it's off the menu, but I left it so you can find the recipe. Also, updated the link for the Chocolate Delight Pie recipe.

Links are for pound cake and cranberry salad recipes previously posted.

Sounds yummy, doesn't it! And we will eat leftovers for a week, but it's all good! Mama will be here a couple of days, and on Friday hubby and I will be dragging the Christmas decorations down from the attic, so I won't have to worry about cooking for a while.

(And off topic, did I tell you hubby and I have ordered our large, joint Christmas gift for each other??? Well, I won't say what it is, but it plugs into a TV and you can do things like go bowling, canoeing, fishing, wakeboarding, etc. and even do exercises with it! I'm so excited!!!)

So, tell me, what is on your menu for Thanksgiving??? Blessings friends! Becky
