I wonder how many other people are simplifying their holiday dinners this year?
If I was doing it, I would go as "simplified" as possible -
Turkey breast
Instant mashed potatoes (some brands are very good)
Gravy - made by me - I make good gravy
Stove top stuffing with Jimmy Dean sausage added
Cranberry relish - made from fresh cranberries - much better than canned
Fresh vegetables cooked - maybe broccoli or green beans
Dill pickles
Purchased rolls
By the time we've eaten more than our fill of that, who needs dessert?
A friend of mine makes an awesome sweet potato something (so does Golden Corral restaurant) that is served as a vegetable, but I think it is more than sweet enough to be served as a dessert.
Served buffet style .
