Monday is a Day of Preperations

Good Monday to you! If you are like me, today you are at work thinking about your menu (or someone elses menu) for Thanksgiving. I know the rest of this week will be focused on gratitude, giving thanks and all that - but today? Lets talk turkey!!

What is on your menu for Thanksgiving? Care to share?

Ours (which will be shared with Fancy Simple gal Barb and her husband Brad, Yay!)

Turkey - fresh from Maplewood Meats - brined and cooked low and slow.
Yummy Mashed potatoes and Turkey Gravy
Angie's Aunt Judy's famous cranberry relish... yum.
Rutabaggas - mashed
Stuffing
Monkey Bread by Barb
Veggie by Barb
Pumpkin Pie by Barb

To hold us over until the feast (and after the Packer game - go Brett!) we will be having Italian Meatballs (recipe courtesy of Barb's mom, Sue - in fact, one of my favorite photos from Barbs wedding is of us eating said meatballs.

  3. It all sounds so good...
    My menu (which appears to be evolving daily) so far consist of:
    Turkey - brined of course
    Ham
    mashed sweet potatoes
    macaroni & cheese
    pialla
    crock pot sweet meatballs
    cabbage
    fresh string beans with white potatoes & pearl onions
    home made sweet rolls...
    so far that is where we are, I am sure my mother or sister will call me with an addition or revision!
    Blessings!
