If you look at my menus for Thanksgivings past, you will see that I am keeping it simple this year.
There has been so much going on; we have icy weather, and our three youngest have been sick with bad colds all week as well, so we decided to stay quiet this year. We will be celebrating Thanksgiving Day as a family, with no extended family or friends, for the first time ever. My menu will be simple, but full of tradition for us.
I usually try at least one new thing but I am not sure if I will this year. I am trying to be mellow. But old habits die hard so, we'll see.
We all need some time to relax and just give ourselves permission to sit around and play games, do puzzles, play Wii or whatever.
If everyone is feeling well enough, we will have some company for brunch on Friday. I will make a breakfast strata I have made for years. This Farmer’s Strata is one of my favorites. Stratas taste wonderful and are convenient because you make it the night before, so your morning is pretty easy.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and be blessed!
Homemade Cranberry Salsa over cream cheese, served with a variety of crackers
Lemon and Tarragon Turkey (this just sounded good so I am coming up with a recipe)
Scalloped Potato Casserole or Frufru Mashed Potatoes (I will take a poll of my family) with gravy (one of my sons reminded me to make PLENTY of gravy!)
Dilly Rolls
Cranberry Apple Sausage Stuffing (and some with no cranberries for a few people)
Sparkling Peach Punch
Sparkling Juice
Pumpkin Pie with homemade whipped cream
Spice Cookies and dip (one of my faves ever!)
Coffee

Your dinner sounds wonderful Tiffany. I have been sick with a cough and fever. I'm going to have to do things simply also. I have 22 people showing up tomorrow though. Thank goodness I'm doing the easy stuff: turkey, potatoes and gravy. Everyone else will bring the side dishes. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Kathi
I know your day will be wonderful Tiffany. The food sounds great but the company sounds even better. May you all feel better so that you can have your family over Friday morning. I hope that the Thanksgiving this year is a blessing to all of you. Much love always. Steffi
What a lovely idea - just your family! Stratas are one of my favorite foods.
