So I realized this week that Thanksgiving is next week! It came up fast! What is everyone doing this year? We are having our traditional Thanksgiving dinner for friends, but we decided to have it on Thanksgiving Day this year (in the past, we've done it on the Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving since most of our friends have family they spend Thanksgiving Day with.) We thought we knew a lot of people who wouldn't be able to go see their families for the holiday and wouldn't have anywhere else to go, but I guess we were wrong! I invited around 20 people and only 1 is coming. Oh well, it means lots of leftovers for us and a laid back day since I won't have a bunch of people drooling down my neck.
I am planning on the following:
Roasted chicken (since there's only going to be 3 of us, I didn't want to do a ham like I usually do, I will do ham for our Christmas party instead)
Mashed potatoes
Gravy
Stuffing
Candied sweet potatoes
Cranberry sauce
Rolls
Pecan pie
Pumpkin cream pie
I just made my shopping list and planner for Thanksgiving day (I always plan out hour-by-hour when to do things like peel the potatoes and take the chicken out of the fridge, etc., it probably sounds OCD but it helps me get everything ready on time and not lose track of time.) Now I am excited and can't wait till next week!
