In our married {few} years we have never been able to go home to spend Thanksgiving with family. There was a few with J deployed, a few with family but without J, one with my brother visiting and the other few have been up to me to plan for the two of us. Honestly, I can’t even remember what we did last year? Ha ha
This year the Army is throwing a little wrench into the mix again. J will be early in cycle so Turkey Day will be spent at work for him. I am one step ahead though (HA HA Army!) because Thanksgiving in our house has been bumped up to Saturday the 20th. I am excited to cook a big meal for us (okay and the leftovers so I don’t have to cook again for a few days) and put together my grocery list.
So far I have decided on:
-Turkey (obviously…)
-Mashed potatoes and gravy
-Cranberry (I admit I like the canned stuff)
-Sweet potato casserole
-Pumpkin pie
Pretty unique, huh? My husband is picky. He likes to think he isn’t but the guy doesn’t eat cheese, ham, white sauces, cream sauces, oh gosh. So I am still trying to decide on a vegetable dish and maybe another dessert or bread.
I am curious as to what YOUR Thanksgiving menu looks like. Anything daring you are trying or usually serve us? I would love to introduce a new dish to my meat and potatoes husband so throw them my way!
Cheers,
