We have a huge spread because there are many family members (35+), and the eating starts from early afternoon and ends with dinner. We have many types of food restrictions spread across the attendees...nut allergies, dairy, shrimp, sea food, vegan, vegetarians, no beef, no pork...

We eat lunch and there are only 7 of us, so no appetizers except we have the pot of butternut squash soup out first and mugs/spoons. Everything made from scratch, including the rolls
Butternut squash soup Turkey dressing (sausage and apple) mashed potatoes gravy rolls cranberry sauce creamed onions (for the one weird grandpa) a simple vegetable like green beans or brussel sprouts some sort of vinegar coleslaw salad |

There are 8 of us and half are running a 5k in the morning, so we’ll put out apps before noon and eat in the mid afternoon. This is a mixture of catered and homemade.
Shrimp cocktail Fruit & cheese platter, crackers, nuts Turkey breast & gravy Roasted tofu for the vegetarians Homemade & canned cranberry sauce Stuffing Mashed potatoes Roasted butternut squash Creamed onions Green beans A simple salad- thinking kale, endive, fennel with dried cranberries and a citrusy vinaigrette Pumpkin pie Chocolate cream pie Decorated cookies |

My niece will likely bring some apps— she is into the charcuterie board trend.
Dinner, served around 1:30, will be Turkey Ham Stuffing Scalloped oysters Sweet potato and apple casserole Green bean casserole Corn Salad Applesauce Gravy Rolls Desserts: Pumpkin pie Funny cake Vanilla pudding These are all long time family favorites. I think I’m the third generation of women making these dishes for Thanksgiving, now teaching the fourth generation (including the boys, finally, I’m happy say) how to make them. |

Intriguing. Sounds very mid-20th century is the best and worst way at the same time. |

Hadn’t even thought about apps: cheese and fruit and crackers, probably. Sparkling water, red and white wine, and beer (like yuengling).
Dinner will be fairly simple: turkey (16 pounds), mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce (canned), rolls, collard/turnip greens, sweet potato casserole with roasted pecans and goat cheese crumbles, and winter salad (maybe arugula with pomegranate and feta). Pumpkin pie and homemade whipped cream for dessert. It’s just my nuclear family (me and DH and our three kids) and my parents. Love Thanksgiving! |
