2013 Thanksgiving Dinner Menu

Gobble Gobble

This year Thanksgiving will be a little different around here.  I'm about 2 or 3 weeks away from having baby #3 and I'm just not that into cooking a big Thanksgiving dinner. So Scott and his mom and my mom and taking over.  I've planned our dishes, and Scott already has his turkey plan, but that's about as much as I'm going to do.  I'm hoping to just spend the day on the couch "overseeing" what happens in the kitchen!

Here is what our Thanksgiving dinner will be this year:

Appetizers

Honey, Brie, and Apple Bruschetta 

Nuts and Olives

Veggie plate with homemade ranch

Main Dishes

Turkey - I think Scott's grilling the big bird again this year

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Turkey gravy & Mushroom gravy

Chopped brussels sprout salad - this was a big hit last year, so good

Delicata squash roasted with gouda - I love delicata squash and what's NOT good about gouda??

Shiitake mushroom stuffing
Crescent Rolls
Cranberry Sauce

Dessert

Maple Pumpkin Pie with Salted Pecan Brittle 

Chocolate turkey cupcakes (for the kids, or the kids at heart)

Drinks
Cranberry Slush for the kids and me - yummy!
Wine, Beer

Also, I'm going to make these delicious looking fresh cranberry scones
ahead of time for breakfast that morning.
