What is on your Thanksgiving menu?

My rolls just came out of the oven and they smell divine! Made the dough in my bread machine. DH would like to start on the rolls tonight but I said 'no' with a smile. Pumpkin pie was done this afternoon. DH is doing our turkey in our newly acquired roaster oven and I am doing the dressing and yams in two separate crockpots. We will add mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, string beans with cranberry sauce from the freezer. Just the 2 of us this year but then, we love each other's company.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Though there is a lot of turmoil going on in the world we all still have a lot to be thankful everyday for.

Just thought I would put two things that we have on our table every year that I haven't seen on anyone's table here - that being Wild Rice Casserole and Kater Bohnen (Dill Beans)!
God Bless us Everyone, peace, love, hope, understanding, compassion and most of all patience. We're getting there - we are only 248 years old!!!!!!! Edie

Going to MIL's today. She does all the traditional but adds baked mac & cheese and she used to make a hag maw for FIL but he has passed so she doesn't do that anymore. I guess sauerkraut is a regional thing. I like it on my mashed potatoes but it doesn't like me. She doesn't do that anymore either cuz no one can eat it without feeling bad afterward. I get to "rip apart the turkey and make the gravy" as she says.lol I'm bringing fresh cranberry sauce. Daughter is bringing pumpkin pie and DIL is bringing Watergate salad. We also celebrate my husband's birthday. She didn't get Thanksgiving dinner that year.lol

Can I come over? Just kidding - my wonderful son-in-law (and daughter) always hosts Thanksgiving; we do Christmas; my sister-in-law does New Years; and my sister does Easter. We have cookouts during the summer, too.

Hubs put our traditional Thanksgiving meal on hold this year because I am recovering from surgery. I had worked out all the logistics with my daughter so that all I had to do was make the dressing, but got vetoed. So we are having a sandwich meat tray and a fruit tray. Seems very strange to me, but Hubs is happy, and that's what counts. The jury is still out on how the kids will feel about it when they get here! LOL!

We'll see. The turkey is in the smoker, but there is a high wind and snow on the ground. At some point DH well make the 'go, no go' decision on smoked turkey. If it's a no go, we will have baked turkey. With stuffing, fruit salad, potato casserole, roasted vegetables, and home made rolls.

We are doing the traditional dinner, with the turkey, gravy, potatoes, dressing, green bean casserole, rolls, cranberry sauce, olives, deviled eggs, and apple bread. We have it at our house because I have all the cooking items. We went to my eldest daughter's home one year and had to take most of the items to cook the dinner. And when we have have not had dinner at home, and no left overs, we end up making the full dinner the next day. My family LOVES the leftovers.
The only difference today is the turkey will not be stuffed, and I am cooking it in the rotisserie. One year my daughter brought home 6 sailors from the Naval Hospital and I needed to cook an extra turkey and it was done so fast I decided to try it again this year since it is suppose to hit 80 degrees here today.

My hubby will make chicken breast, stove top stuffing, and corn. We were supposed to go to friends, but, I came down with the flu. So, they aren't getting what I was supposed to make either! Back to bed -- hope all of you had a great day.

It's over we had a houseful and we were short seven people, three of them little people. But I still count and miss them when they don't come. We had turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cottage potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cranberry salad, fruit salad, green bean casserole, Amish pudding, banana pudding, dinner roles, apple pie, pecan pie, butterscotch creme pie, pumpkin pie. It has been a great day and now I am tired. Good night all.
