I'm surprised I am beating
Winchester
to starting this thread, but I am early this year. :lol3:
What are those of you in the US doing? What are you cooking? For those in CAnada, what did you do? What did you cook? Did you like or not like some new recipes?
I'm hosting again as usual. I don't have a final number yet, but I had to make up my menu and start shopping early. I'm without a vehicle for roughly two weeks, so didn't want to leave all of my shopping and cooking to the week of Thanksgiving.
So far my menu includes -
Turkey with gravy
Spiral ham
Portuguese cacoila - bought, not made by me.
Rolls with butter
Mashed potatoes can be made ahead. recipe - http://www.food.com/recipe/pioneer-womans-delicious-creamy-mashed-potatoes-475240
Homemade cranberry sauce recipe - http://www.thecatsite.com/t/238195/side-dishes-and-vegetables#post_3867581
Canned cranberry sauce
Macaroni and cheese recipe - http://www.thecatsite.com/t/238195/side-dishes-and-vegetables#post_3139883
Portuguese chourico stuffing
French meat stuffing - http://www.thecatsite.com/t/238195/side-dishes-and-vegetables#post_3654292
sausage and cornbread stuffing -
I'm not sure on vegetables yet. I found a baby carrot recipe to do in the crockpot that looks interesting. http://www.thereciperebel.com/slow-cooker-honey-orange-glazed-carrots/
I'll put out some chips and dips. I'm trying a new shrimp scampi dip http://damndelicious.net/2014/08/01/shrimp-scampi-dip/ I've got cheese and crackers also. My SIL is bringing some type of appetizer as well.
For dessert we have a chocolate candy bark http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/halloween-peanut-butter-and-toffee-candy-bark , chocolate chip cookies, a chocolate mousse cake that I am trying - http://omgchocolatedesserts.com/chocolate-mousse-cake/ and others normally bring desserts.
The drink situation is a little crazy. Plenty of wine and bottled beer. I'm going to make an apple pie sangria. The past few years I have had a list of different cocktails and people really got into that and started rating them with stars. It's become a thing. There will be a cranberry margarita and I'm still working out the details of the others.
