I go completely traditional and one year my sister-in-law was at our house and said, “Oh, yes, we like traditional Thanksgiving dinners…with hesitation. When we sat down to eat our “traditional” meal her family ate with GUSTO!
Turkey
sage stuffing
Mashed potatos
gravy (my favorite part)
cranberry salad (2nd favorite part)
corn (husband insists)
orange rolls
cranberry relish (my Mom’s favorite)
pumkin pie
other desserts…
I always trays of vegies and dip out all day long and by the end of the day I never have any left over. I also maked smoked salmon dip to go with chips (tortilla or pita)for snacking. We spend all evening eating orange rolls. I may do the sweet potato crock pot recipe that everyone loves but hardly qualifies as a vegetable.
Well here is what I have so far:
Roasted Turkey filled with celery, carrots and onions
Stuffing
Mashed (Maine) potatoes
Butternut Squash with nutmeg, butter and splenda brown sugar
Peas
Honey Glazed Carrots
Gravy (from local turkey farm – yum!)
Whole and jellied cranberry sauces
Squash rolls (pretty please, Pat!)
Baked Apples and Sweet Potatoes
Turnip (maybe just for Grampa, seeing he will be home – Yeah!)
Desserts:
Apple Pie
Low-sugar Pumpkin Pie
Pecan Pie
Lemon Squares
If I think of anything else (this should be enough!) I will post any additions. If anyone wants any of my veggie recipes – let me know and I will post them. (Jane you will have to tell me how!) ~ Auntie Kim
