What I'm planning for mine!. I'm a vegetarian and my guests this year are going along with me but if not I would do either an apricot glazed turkey or my great aunt dovie's ham!.
sides will be:
mashed potatoes
sweet potato casserole with a walnut/brown sugar topping that gets crunchy
cucumber salad- very simple lemon juice, oil, chives, salt, pepper, sugar
glazed bittersweet onions- pearl onions in a reduced sauce
green bean casserole- made with tomatoes, mustard, (bacon) and a handful of other things
angel biscuits
dessert will be pecan pie with home made whip cream
i'd be happy to share any of the recipes in detailWww@FoodAQ@Com
