Thanksgiving Menus and Recipes HERE!

Well, for the last few years, my family has gone out to eat at Cracker Barrel. Don't laugh, ham & turkey with 2 sides & dessert for about $8 a person. We've done this because either my dad was in the hospital, or my brother was not around, so it was usually just me and mom. It was just cheaper to eat out (and with no dishes to wash) than to cook a big dinner just for the two of us.

This year, the family is all back together, so I offered to cook up Thanksgiving dinner. Man, it's been many years since I've been the main cooker for a holiday dinner, but I think I'll be ok.

We're not really big turkey fans so....

a spiral, honey glazed ham
mashed potatos & gravy
candied yams with lots of brown sugar, marshmellows & pecans
broccoli, rice & cheese casserole
green bean casserole
yeast rolls
and good ol' pumpkin pie with TONS of Cool Whip

**disclaimer, if it sucks, I'm getting Cracker Barrel to go

Woo Hoo! You go PinkStuff! How awesome!!

Don't stress! You can do it!

As you know, I LOVE to cook.

I can whip all this stuff up and send it to you in time for your BIG Thanksgiving dinner with the family. They won't have to know!

I'll even toss in whoopie pies and a tiramisu...
