So....what's on the menu for Thursday?

DD · 11-20-2010, 06:49 AM

I'm cooking the usual stuff and I know we do this thread every year, but I might find some inspiration for some new stuff. Grocery shopping tomorrow...ugh...my most unfavorite part of the holiday. But, I'll bite the bullet and get it done...then try to figure out where to store it all!

No darn casseroles!!! No packing up togo plates

I hear ya on the casseroles. Unfortunately, I'd be fired as chief cook and bottle washer if I didn't make a couple of them.

I am doing my sweet potatoes on top of the stove and thinking about a couple of other things that are either stove top or no cook.

My biggest undertaking is breakfast...southern style. Not my choice, but husband's family tradition. Eggs, country ham, gravy biscuits...I throw in homemade caramel rolls for me!!

Lunch is at my sister's house so I bring desserts and veges. Cranberry fluff is my favorite! I have to make the traditional corn and deviled eggs. My daughter makes killer sweet potatoes!

I am doing the Ham, dressing, White Chocolate bread pudding and home made yeast rolls. So glad my daddy and step-mom are so close now. They get to make the turkey this year. Brother and Sister will bring stuff as well. Kelly will bring her wonderful Green Bean Casserole. Not sure what my brother will bring, but I am sure it will be good. He has turned into quite the cook in his middle age.

It will just be so good for all the family to be together again this year after so many spent apart.

Happy Thanksgiving All!

May have to break down and make some deviled eggs. I think we're doing a baked sweet potato with toppings on the side. White chocolate bread pudding sounds yum too.

**BeachbumAggie** · 11-20-2010, 12:15 PM

Chicken and sage cornbread dressing, a roast turkey breast, baked ham, giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, hashbrown casserole, candied sweet potatoes, squash casserole, field peas (cream peas), fresh cooked green beans, rolls, relish tray, fruit salad, banana nut cake, pecan pie, chocolate chip pecan pie, chocolate pie then we'll have the same thing but with more sweets at Christmas dinner!

We're going to a pot luck and I found a great recipe!

Oh my!! Is that what I think it is? Mashed potato frosting with a sweet potato souffle topping?

**Iris** · 11-20-2010, 03:08 PM

So far Thursday is going to have roast turkey, baked ham (basted with honey on the pit), sweet potato souffle, cornbread dressing, oyster dressing, sweet peas, fresh cranberry sauce, gravey and giblet gravey, home made yeast rolls and either bread pudding with a whiskey sauce or lemon ice box pie.

I vote for the bread pudding with whiskey sauce.

By the way does anyone have a really good egg custard pie recipe?
