What is going to be on your Thanksgiving menu if you are cooking the Thanksgiving meal?
Turkey of course and I’m not crazy about turkey...Lol... the usual mashed potatoes, sweet potato something or other, corn, lots of appetizers.. cheese and crackers, sometimes soup (not sure yet), a pasta dish and cranberry pumpkin cheese cake...and many, many cookies.. all different kinds made by ME!
I’m sure there’s more.. I just thought about it quickly...LOL!
Hi Mary,
Turkey & Dressing
BBQ Ribs
Mustard & Turnip Greens
Yams
Potato salad
Mac/cheese
Dinner rolls
Cranberry sauce
pineapple coconut cake and sweet potato pie for desserts.
Yummy... maybe I’ll make ribs on Thanksgiving... I love ribs...LOL
Oh yeah and I forgot the cranberry sauce...my sister makes it special... this may sound yucky to some but OMG it’s so good
cranberry sauce and mixed fruits and sometimes mandarin oranges too.. YUM
We are having:
Fried Turkey
Dressing (I’m making it for the first time this year....pray for me...LOL)
Baby Lima beans
Green Beans
Brown Rice
Sweet Potato Souffle
Homemade Macaroni & Cheese
A small “green bean casserole” (for my son-no one else eats it)
Fried biscuits (a once a year treat)
Cranberry sauce
Apple pie
Pecan pie
Apple slab pie
Vanilla ice cream to go with the pies
Hey - can you share a sweet potato souffle recipe - that sounds wonderful
Maryclark. how do u make fried biscuits? and what is apple slab pie?? please add some recipes :)
Okay....I have to make a dessert tonight for my son to take to work with him tomorrow for their work thanksgiving meal. When I get done I will post the recipes.
Sweet Potato Souffle
Well it’s like my Mama use to say....I really don’t measure anything....I just put it together. So with that said I’m going to do my best in giving you a recipe.
I boil about 6-8 sweet potatoes...of course peeled first.
In a mixing bowl...mix
cooked potatoes
(1) can of evaporated milk
(1) stick of real butter
(2-3) eggs
milk (if needed to keep the mixture a little soupy but not too much)
Mixing w/ a mixer to completely smooth
Optional: you can add some cinnamon to the sweet potatoes if you like.
Pour into a casserole dish...
Topping:
(1) stick of butter
Flour (I can’t tell you how much...LOL)
Brown Sugar ( maybe a cup)
1 1/2 cups of chopped up pecans
Mix all together and spread topping mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake for 45-1 hour...don’t let the topping burn.
Bake on 350 degrees.
Not a great recipe but I did the best I could do.
Mzd3: Fried biscuits are exactly what they are...fried. LOL
After we fry the turkey in peanut oil, we drop a can of biscuits into the oil..for about 30 seconds to a minute, then scoop them out very quickly and place on a plate w/ paper towels to drain any excess oil.
All I can say about this is: they are so good they will make you slap your mama!!!
Of course not something you should eat all the time...so we only eat these once a year...Thanksgiving.
I have not finished planning my meal as of yet, but turkey breast, dressing, cranberry sauce green beans, rolls, one or two other vegetables, white wine and a pie
Mary, that is funny, slap your mama! Hub’s dad’s side of the family was from North Carolina and boy, did they have some yummy recipes...thanks for the recipes.
Neicy, the pineapple coconut cake sounds divine...recipe, please!
Hub is scheduled for hernia repair surgery next Wed...so I may not be making anything. My SIL is hosting Thanksgiving, but only our son will be going over as his dad will be sore.
Possibly some homemade turkey rice soup and soft rolls for hub and a turkey panini for me.
