Thanks! I almost forgot about rolls!! Sounds like we are having a similar meal. We sometimes do a ham too if we have a large group.

I think we're just doing a basic Thanksgiving this year because it's going to be a small crowd, but I might try something new if I can find a great recipe.

What are you serving this year? Food? Beverages?


So far I'm thinking:
Spinach/artichoke dip with baguette slices
Turkey - roasted on the grill
Stuffing/dressing (recipe tbd - something basic)
Mashed potatoes
Gravy (will buy from WF)
Cranberry & orange sauce
Haricot verts
Pumpkin pie

And maybe an apple cider-based drink if I find one I like...
