Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I want to get started with the non-perishable shopping to help spread out the cost and the back strain. The savory side of Thanksgiving is the same as it always is. We’ve got our traditions that are hard to break! I will be deviating with the dessert. I’m trying to break the tradition of having infinite desserts. I’m going to keep it simple this year and just make individual lava cakes. Well, I’m going to try to. I’ve never made them before. I might do a few test runs between now and then.
My parents will be here for the holiday and staying with us through Saturday morning. My mom brings a delicious bundt coffee cake for Friday breakfast every year and I’ll be making the rest of the meals. I sort of have them planned, but I need to fill in the rest of the gaps at some point.
On Tuesday I’ll do the white bread for the stuffing and the pumpkin bread. I’ll start the ice cream and no knead bread dough as well.
Wednesday is casserole prep day which means I’ll get the green bean and sweet potato casseroles together and in the fridge.
On Thursday the turkey goes in the oven, Art and I will prepare the stuffing and mashed potatoes, and I’ll bake the casseroles once the turkey is out of the oven.
This has been another year full of things for which we are thankful and it’s always a joy to celebrate this with those I call family.
