What are you cooking for Thanksgiving?

Every year I’m assigned green bean casserole. EVERY YEAR

Jazz it up with caramelized onions or sauteed shallots that's mixed in with the beans and topped with the fried onions and shredded cheddar cheese

Nothing. We don't support the values of Thanksgiving.

You don't support being thankful for everything and everyone in your life.
Before we eat we all give pause to reflect on all the good in our lives, we will give thanks for our health and happiness, we will think about those who cannot be with us and about those that are no longer with us. We will ask for peace and contentment for all…

It's late! It's usually anon 2! LOL

Firstof all - What kind of a communist doesn't like cornbread!

Second - holy smokes lady! I needed a nap after reading that. It sounds like an amazing feast. I hope you'll have some hands helping with all of that! My hat is off to you. I do about half of that and I'm DONE by the end of the day.

Don’t have the menu decided yet. This is our first Thanksgiving without my mom, and she normally cooked almost everything. I always make the green bean casserole, so I’ll make that again this year, and I volunteered my DH to make the cornbread dressing. That’s all I know right now.

Hugs. I am so sorry. First holiday's without our loved ones are rough.

Pork loin
Salmon
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Dressing
Brussels sprouts
Carrots
Green bean casserole
Rolls
Pumpkin Pie
Apple Pie

I'll do some kind of appetizers, but I haven't decided what yet. Maybe shrimp loaf or crab melts and a meat, cheese, and cracker tray.

We live in the NW and DH isn't a fan of turkey.
