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?

Apps: shrimp cocktail, deviled eggs, veggies abs some sort of dip. Idk. Haven’t shopped yet so just kind of making it up.
Turkey
Gravy
Cranberry-orange sauce
Mashed potatoes
Sweet potato casserole
Macaroni and cheese
Green beans with garlic and butter
Roasted lemon broccoli
Corn casserole (with Jiffy mix)
Kale salad with dried cranberries
Probably some kind of wild rice or barley salad because why not add more carbs
Whatever else inspires me as I’m grocery shopping…
I cook everything and only let other people do desserts, which is a win-win for me because desserts are a pain in the rear and I don’t like them anyway. 😉

Guys I’m spatchcocking the turkey this year! I might mush some herbed butter under the skin too. Cutting the spine out of a turkey and pushing its breast down to crack the ribs was really gross for me this morning and mildly traumatic for DH.
-Spatchcocked dry brined turkey
-Mashed potatoes (Should I boil them in milk? Never tried)
-Martha’s mac and cheese
-Jiffy corn pudding
-Broccoli cranberry salad
-Sausage dressing
-Garlic green beans
-Citrus pecan cranberry sauce
-Gravy
-2 or 3 kinds of pie provided by MIL, with whipped cream and ice cream
-wine, beer, sparkling grapefruit soda

A Black family? Pumpkin pie? I’m struggling not to ask you where your people are from. I kid. Sort of.
What does this mean, you saying black people don’t eat pumpkin pie? Has to be sweet potato pie? I thought pumpkin pie was universally American. My parents are East Asian and we always had pumpkin and pecan.

Outlier here but we don't like turkey.
Pork shoulder with rosemary
Mashed potatoes
Stuffing
Brussel sprouts
Cranberry sauce
Pecan pie
we often dont do turkey although we are this year.... I think the best T day was when had a lot of vegetarians and so we did 3 kinds of lasagna--the butternut squash lasagne (made with marscapone as well as ricotta and mozzarella) and spinach was to die for! We also did a wild mushroom and a meat one. We didn't make much else--salad, vegetable, pie, because its soo filling.
