Two pumpkin pies and one homemade apple pie are done. Bread cubed and drying for stuffing.

We'll do most of it tomorrow while we watch tv.

For the first time ever in my adult life (except for the years we were at WDW for Thanksgiing) I am NOT cooking! The girls and I are going to eat at Cracker Barrel. I did make two pies for the weekend, though. I'm making breakfast in the morning, too: cheese grits casserole, bacon, monkey bread, and fruit. Enjoy your day, everyone!

I've been cooking since noon and I'm finally taking a break..... two kinds of cranberry sauce, cornbread, gingerbread cookies, mashed sweet potatoes w/bourbon, sausage meatballs, onion dip ( best recipe ever-sauteed vidalia onion until it caramelizes mixed with sour cream ), and just waiting on one loaf of bread to finish rising. I prepped the onions and celery for the stuffing as well.

Today, I made deviled eggs, ambrosia salad, and an apple-pumpkin pie, and I cut the potatoes. Tonight, I have to get started on the stuffing; cubing bread and making the stock. This is the first time I am making non-Stovetop stuffing, so I'm not entirely sure what I am getting myself into.

Tomorrow, will be turkey, gravy, finish the stuffing, glazed carrots, and parmesan potatoes.

Oh yeah, this is all for 2 people . DH LOVES his Thanksgiving meal.

Turkay has been brining since last night~ cleaned and laundry today~ The laundry seems to be never ending~

Did the breakfast strata already~ cored a pineapple and cut up the cantaloupe.

Made 2 stuffings; the sweet potato casserole; peeled the potatoes; got 2 apps out of the way.

My sister made all 4 deserts; so that helps

Now I'm thinking attack the green bean casserole~ or is that tooo early?

Oh the joy of the Holidays ~

I'm on dessert duty. Cheesecake is made, apple crumb pie is in the oven, pumpkin pie is bought from costco, chocolate pudding pie will be made tomorrow, and i'm working on the dough for my homemade dinner rolls now. And i'm having a giant glass of wine, so I don't even care that my cheesecake cracked!!!

I am having a HUGE glass also~ Just put a can of cherry topping on the cheesecake and no one will notice the crack!

I always do the preparations the day before. My DD's helped a bit this year.

Today we cut all the mashed potatoes. Cut up & boiled the sweet potatoes. Will have to make the candied sauce tomorrow.

Stuffing is done.

Four pies are made.

Tomorrow I'll just have to prep the bird & make the whipped cream for the pies.

My bird is smaller this year.....14 lbs. I do it in a cooking bag so I don't even have to put it in until about noon. It should be done about 3:00 or so & we'll eat at 4:00.

I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am! I'm on my second . It's a Barefoot Contessa recipe, and has a raspberry topping, so I'm not too concerned. Happy Thanksgiving to you, and everyone!

Thank heavens my family brings most of the sides! I'm not stuffing the turkeys this year, so the "dressing" is put together & in a casserole dish, ready to be baked. I've fixed the green bean casserole. One turkey is cooked. The other turkey goes into the oven in the AM.

I've baked a crustless pumpkin pie and made a pumpkin mousse. I've bought 2 chocolate cream pies.

So coming tomorrow are pumpkin cream cupcakes, a birthday cake & a pumpkin pie. The mashed potatoes, spinach salad, yams, rolls & homemade cranberry/orange relish are coming too.

I've bought some turkey gravy, but I'll also make some. (we never have enough gravy.)

We eat early, so no need for appetizers.

Off to clean one more bathroom......

I just made myself an apple cider martini

I am drinking Beringer Whit Zin. I am on glass number 2 and had to make dinner of broiled salmon, rice, and Toy Story mac and cheese.

I got another pie in, one more to go and then now I can make the mashed potatoes.

One batch (5ishlbs) is going to be reg. mashed and then one batch will have skins on. My sister requested that. Less work for me.....YEA!

No cooking today, been cleaning all day. Going to mil's tomorrow and only taking a broccoli casserole. Feeling kinda guilty about not cooking anything but I will be doing it all Saturday and Sunday--having all my kids here on Sunday for fried turkey and a big meal.

 

[monkeybug]

I have turkey brining, a cheesecake baking, pie dough chilling, cranberry sauce simmering, and a baby who won't stay sleeping! And I really want some of that wine a pp was drinking!

 

[mom2boys]

Add me to the list. I have the mac & cheese & green bean casserole in the oven now. I am getting ready to cook the potatos. This is my first time actually making the Thanksgiving dinner. We usually manage an invitation but the relatives went to sunny climates this year. I'm looking forward to it - just my family & my brother's so not too much pressure for perfection.
