My parents are coming down again for Thanksgiving! Yay! Mama and I will share the cooking, which is my favorite part of Thanksgiving. I love to cook and I don't really have the chance to share the kitchen with her very often. So, here's our plan....
Herb Roasted Turkey (I'm in charge of the turkey because they drive down Thanksgiving morning.)
Ham (We get a Honey-Baked ham every year--this is Harp's favorite thing in the world.)
Slow Cooker Dressing (Grandma Davis makes the best dressing. However, getting her to write a recipe down is almost impossible because I honestly think she makes it up as she goes! However, this recipe is the closest that I've found to Grandma's texture and taste. AND using the crock pot makes life a little bit easier.)
Green Bean Casserole (Just the regular recipe, but we use 1/2 cup of milk instead of 3/4.)
Corn (just a bag of frozen corn--We've done creamed corn recipes over the years, but it doesn't get eaten as well as just regular corn does. And sometimes we don't have corn at all. It's a lot of food!)
Cranberry Sauce (I don't really know if anyone ever eats this. But it's pretty and I want to make it!)
Rolls (We always get the Sister Schubert's brand.)
Macaroni and Cheese (Mama has a baked mac and cheese recipe that she makes every year.)
Mashed Potatoes (Mama's job!)
Watergate Salad (I don't like this. And it's probably the most random thing ever. However, my mom's mom, Grammie, has it at every Thanksgiving and Christmas meal and now Adam insists on having it, too.)
No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake (Adam makes this one)
Red Velvet Cake (My dad's birthday is around Thanksgiving time and this is his favorite cake. So, this is always one of the desserts.)
Chocolate Satin Pie (I've never made this before. But it looks easy, and I need chocolate.)
