I’m cooking for just our small immediate family this year, we’re all vegetarian and one kid doesn’t like any of the Thanksgiving foods except for rolls and cranberry sauce, so it’s a small menu.

Ummmm ... this sounds delicious. Can you post the recipe?

It’s this recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/spicy-carrot-and-ginger-soup-with-harissa

lemon butter herb turkey breast with crispy skin
sourdough stuffing
gravy
mashed potatoes
mashed orange maple sweet potatoes
green bean casserole with mushrooms
roasted brussel sprouts and maple glazed carrots
mac and cheese
peas, corn (son insists)
cherry cranberry sauce (and a can)
spiced peaches (we're southern)
parker house rolls

guests bringing desserts

appetizers will be standard cheese/crackers/nuts/crudite, some TJ's feta onion cups and the lil smokies in the crockpot

thinking of a thanksgiving sangria (red wine, sparkling cider, pomegranate) but probably won't do it because no one really loves fancy cocktails

As usual, everyone will make huge amounts of food and around an hour and a half hour at the end of the party will go in divvying up all food in tupperware containers for every household. Then we all will vow to pare down the food for next thanksgiving. Then, the same thing repeats. Once upon a time, the ultra-smart people would nap during the whole party, and then go for Christmas deals at midnight. Thank goodness that madness is mostly over.
