Thanksgiving Traditional Foods

[dab_20]

We have turkey, stuffing, potatoes and gravy (from the turkey drippings), green bean casserole, rolls, sweet potatoes/yams, pumpkin pie. Sometimes other desserts like jello with fruit in it or just fruit salad with mini marshmallows.

YUM!

My mom and I work on thanksgiving so we're having ours on Saturday!

I got the two ten lb turkeys marinating, I made the sweet potatoe casserole just have to top with marshmallows and warm up tomorrow, peeled the potatoes and have in water in the fridge, made candied popcorn, made two different gravies, one vegetarian for my daughter and her best friend, one with all the gross stuff that I love (hearts, gizzards etc) I bought a really nice gravy from costco too without organ meats for those that won't want that.

I am on call this weekend so wanted to get as much done in case I do have to work from home. I got the table set, even ironed the napkins....

I do have a turkey downstairs in the freezer but it's not being cooked today. I'm going to cook that on Monday. today we are going over to hubby's cousins house for the big family gathering.

She makes this ice cream dessert that is to DIE for. it's vanilla ice cream and vanilla pudding and whipped cream and then the crust is a crushed ritz cracker crust.... OMG delicious. She made it for my first ever family function and I've been hooked ever since lol whenever I walk in she says "I made your favorite dessert" and then I take it to the closet and eat the whole thing. LOL ok not really but I want to. It's SO good.

this morning we are having a bacon and egg breakfast and watching the macys thanksgiving parade and just enjoying being together before we meet up with everyone else for the feast.
