Just following up Snowy's post! I LOVE reading everyone's plans and I LOVE reading all the wonderful treats everyone will be sharing on that wonderful turkey day! I've heard of folks doing different, less "traditional" things for Thanksgiving like homemade enchiladas, fish, etc. I was curious if anyone here had a less than "traditional" thanksgiving meal planned. Of course, we all know how much fun making your own traditions can be! So, is there anything out there unique to your family meal?? Inquiring minds want to know!
As for me, my meal is the ultimate in traditional! It will consist of:
 Turkey (gobble gobble!)
 Ham (straight from my good friend porky who we bought and processed late in the summer!)
 Stuffing (made from my dad's recipe which I'll have to share the story of later on, it's funny!)
 Green bean casserole
 Smashed potatoes
 Gravy (I'm the worst gravy maker in the world, so this is NOT homemade, it comes from a handy dandy jar!)
 Corn (yup, from a bag!)
 Sweet potatoes
 Cranberry sauce (homemade from a recipe I got here at OLP years ago)
 Black and green olives (Black for my boys and green for fil)
Bread (I'll make two or three loaves in the bread machine and warm it in the oven till meal time)
 Pumpkin pies (is Thanksgiving possible w/out them???)
 Sugar free apple pie (if my friend mike is here b/c he's diabetic)
Bread pudding w/vanilla bean ice cream (Jeff's favorite and I make a mean bread pudding!)
 Wine (fresh from a local winery!)
Soda, milk, water, tea, or whatever anyone else wants to drink!
Oh, and I think Jeff is going to throw some bacon wrapped shrimp on the grill this year, too. So, that will be our not so traditional additon!
I think that's it for my table!! I can't wait to hear everyone else's menu!!!

So, what's on your MENU for Thanksgiving?? - 
That's because it's my sister Jill's turn to cook. I only have to make an apple pie!
