I said I wasn't going to post until after I graduated, but I did FOUR independent study lessons today and decided I needed a break. So I started planning my Thanksgiving dinner. I am so excited! I am going all out, everything from scratch. Unless I change my mind. But for now it is from scratch.
Here is my menu:
- The Turkey: I am going to brine it. It is supposed to make it juicier and more tender.
- Mashed Potatoes: Will be so creamy and buttery
- Stuffing: I might use the gizzards, but I cannot decide.
- Turkey Gravy: From the actual juice in the turkey.
- Sweet Potatoes: I won't be making these. I don't like them so my sister Charleah will do it. But I might make her do it from scratch.
- Green Bean Casserole: Not from scratch, but the way my mom makes it. So wonderful.
- Rolls: I haven't found the perfect recipe yet, but they will be homemade
- Apple Pie- From real apples. And a homemade crust.
- Pumpkin Pie- From real pumpkins. Not from a can and another homemade crust.
- Two other pies I haven't decided on yet.
