Tablescapes, Thanksgiving Thoughts

Are you all set for Thanksgiving?

Ours will be small and casual

After years of doing Thanksgiving with HH’s sister and her whole family,

Everyone is going in a different direction now

Our children are grown and have their own family obligations

HHjr will be the head chef and we have yet to collaborate on the menu

What are the dishes that must must be on your table?

My favorites are stuffing of course, like my Mom’s with Pecans

or I might get fancier and make

Holiday Dressing with Foccacia, Cornbread & Sausage

and Mirmie’s Creamed Onions with Chopped Peanuts are a holiday must!

Maple Roasted Butternut Squash with Brussels Sprouts {or broccoli}

is elegant, mouthwatering and super easy

I also love green bean casserole and you can find a slow cooker version here

I am thinking about changing it up this year and trying

a version with asparagus

Do you make homemade rolls?

I like to use these mini cutting boards for “bread and butter plates”

I will probably make Rosemary Parmesan Biscuit Bubbles 

or

Julie’s Creamy Corn Muffins

The boys have to have potatoes,

Mashed potatoes can be a lot of work, our go to potato dish is a hash brown casserole

like this EZ Ranch Hashbrown Casserole

Oh and cranberry sauce!

I have a super easy homemade one coming up tomorrow,

You can make it now and stash it in your fridge until the big day!

There will also be some wonderful cranberry holiday appetizers

Perfect for upcoming gatherings, football, and holiday parties!

As you can see, I am still in the thinking stage

I would love to hear your ideas for a Thanksgiving must have dish!

Two weeks away!

I am so thankful you dropped by!
