Okay, all you Americans! What are you planning on making for Thanksgiving? It will probably only be Paul and I this year (we live too far from family and our friends will all be gone or with their families in town). I don't want to make too much stuff since it will just be us. This is my plan so far:
-cranberry sauce (this is Paul's domain, we make the recipe on the bag)
-turkey, of course! I use this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/A-Simply-Perfect-Roast-Turkey/Detail.aspx
-mashed potatoes using heavy cream and butter. I don't need a recipe.
-sweet potato casserole, I'm going to try this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Gourmet-Sweet-Potato-Classic/Detail.aspx?prop31=1
-corn pudding, because it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it. This is the recipe I'm going to try this time, I've never used one with any sort of mix: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Corn-Pudding-V/Detail.aspx
-turkey gravy (don't need a recipe)
-store bought rolls because I'll be busy at the last minute and my oven only has one rack. If I was going to make rolls, I would make this recipe though because they're wonderful: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Blue-Ribbon-Overnight-Rolls/Detail.aspx
-homemade butter
I want to make something simple but yummy for breakfast. Does anyone have ideas? I was thinking of making these muffins because we like them a lot, and serving them with mandarin oranges and hot chocolate: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/French-Breakfast-Muffins/Detail.aspx
I also want to make some sort of appetizer that isn't too filling but we can munch on throughout the day, like some sort of dip for veggies and chips, or chex mix. Any ideas?
Also, can't forget dessert! I'm considering just making caramel apples. Usually I make a pumpkin chiffon pie but Paul's not that fond of it. Any good, somewhat autumny dessert recipes would be great!
So, share your recipes for Thanksgiving here! I can't wait to read what all you guy make.
