I spent almost the entire day ignoring the fact that I have tons of laundry to do and started planning Thanksgiving! It took more lists than I'll admit to, hours of recipe browsing, and numerous emails to my favorite chef - my step-mom. :) But, I now have my full menu planned. I've even written two shopping lists - one for non-perishables and such, one for fresh produce and dairy, etc. I had to cut a lot of exciting and tasty sounding treats, but I'm happy with what I've picked. There's a few new recipes and a few tried and true ones. And of course, a few time/sanity-saving cheats (like Pillsbury and Stove Top Stuffing). Now to sort out my coupons - that's going to be the real chore.
After much deliberation, my menu....
Turkey/gravy
mashed potatoes
crescent rolls
spinach and mushroom salad
homemade cranberry sauce
stuffing muffins
vegetable casserole
chocolate chip cheesecake
fruit salad
hot mocha coffee
Wanna place at my table?
Well, we're a bit more casual. Wanna place on my couch? If you don't want to eat off your lap, we've got a few TV trays. ;)
