Pre-Thanksgiving Menu Planner

I thought I would share the current menu I am working on. Everything will be made from scratch (this the exception of the pie crust, just not worth the effort). I am sure I will tweak a little bit. My main issue with it is I usually want at least a couple of dishes that I have never made before, and this list looks a lot like last year’s menu.

  1. Menu
    1. Appetisers
      1. Deviled Eggs
      2. Cheese and Crackers
      3. Smoked Fish
      4. Smoked Gouda wrapped with dried fig and prosciutto
    2. Salad
      1. Cranberry / Walnut / Blue Cheese
    3. Main
      1. Turkey
      2. Gravy
      3. Rib Eye Steak
      4. Mash Potatoes
      5. Yams
      6. Stuffing
      7. Squash W/ Green Beans
      8. Bread
      9. Onions w/Bacon
      10. Brussle Sprouts
      11. Cranberry Sauce
    4. Desert
      1. Pumpkin Pie
      2. Pecan Pie
      3. Apple Pie

  1. This sounds delicious! Two things:

    First, where did the Rib eye steak idea come from? Is it a family tradition? Other?

    Also, you have to have Coco’s cranberry conserve! e-mail me: christine dot kraft at g m a i l dotcom.

  2. Wow! I feel lazy after reading your menu. I don’t mind making the crust, but I hate stirring the pumpkin cream pie for an hour and a half…so Brett takes that job.

  3. I love the rib-eye steak idea. What time do I need to be at your house?
    Unfortunately my enthusiasm is tempered by the pecan and pumpkin pies on the menu.

  4. Could you plan ours this year as well? :-) Sounds fantastic! I like that you take the time of make THREE pies.

    And here I was, thinking I was industrious for making two pies this year…;) Have a fabulous Thanksgiving. Having been a recipient of the Shattuck Thanksgiving and hospitality, I’m sure a good time will be had by all!
