We are doing Thanksgiving next Tuesday. Mom has chemo Thanksgiving week so we want to be sure she can enjoy all the food. I will not be logging or really caring about what I eat that day. It's about spending time with my mom and my family and just enjoying ourselves. Nothing else. I mean, this could be my last Thanksgiving with my mom so... yea. Much more important things going on then counting calories.

So our day will look like:

Breakfast
Cinnamon rolls and coffee/hot chocolate

Appetizers
Veggies and Dig
Mixed Nuts
Cheese and Crackers
Chips and Dip

Dinner
Roasted Turkey
Family Stuffing
Cornbread Dressing
Buttermilk and Chive Mashed Potatoes
Green Bean Casserole
Cranberry Sauce
Rolls
Gravy

Dessert
Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream
Peanut Butter Pie

Wine and Beer will be available all day

We have no family here in CT, so I don't have to cook... We have been going out to an iconic New England inn for traditional turkey and fixings dinner. We're trying a new restaurant this year at the Seaport, so our menu, in addition to turkey, will include lobster bisque and shrimp!

The usual:

Fresh turkey (brined Wed. evening, and roasted in the oven Thurs. morning)
Crock pot cornbread dressing (easy and very moist)
Fresh ham (baked in the oven or on the grill)
Green Salad
Broccoli Rice Casserole
Fruit Salad
Mashed Potatoes
Dinner rolls
Pumpkin Cake
Pecan Pie
Iced Tea
Wine

Mom may bring a corn casserole, too. Sometimes the kids bring something special to add. No one leaves hungry!

Just me and the husband this year. We won't be around for too many leftovers. And I've never cooked a full Thanksgiving meal before... SO...

Turkey tenderloin
Corn
Peas
Cranberry sauce
Potatoes of some kind (sweet potato or maybe I'll try a twice-baked recipe)
Wheat rolls
Possibly jello with fruit in it if I can find gelatin free jello
Probably NOT stuffing.

Wow, that looks kind of sad. But practical!

Whatever my wife fixes. I am sure there will be Turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, but in the end although the food will be delicious it is the time I have with her and my son that make it truly a day to be Thankful for.

Several of us at work will be walking/running a 5K on Thanksgiving Morning So....I will not feel guity about:

Turkey
Homemade Dressing
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Green Beans
Rolls
Impossible pumpkin pie--from Bisquick--it's the BEST pumpkin pie you will EVER have!!

We will be leaving town the next morning and my Husband has to work on Thanksgiving Day, (life of a cop, duty never ends) so me and my daughter may just skip Thanksgiving and head to TGIF!! Who knows! Maybe we'll end up at Denny's!!

loadsandloads

We go to a friend's home for the meal and take along our "specialties" These will sound weird but.....I make homemade Chicken & Noodles (not dumpling!!!) and hubby makes Steak & Kidney pie. Our host usually makes 20-25 pies and of course has all the trimmings.

I will be exercising a lot that week and that morning in anticipation. I don't plan to pig out but I also won't be taking home any leftovers. I just plan on enjoying the day with great friends!!

Have a great Turkey day everyone!!
