This was my first year to host Thanksgiving dinner. My husband’s three grandparents, my grandmother, an aunt, and my in-laws were our esteemed guests. There were nine of us total. Even though I was super nervous, there were no major hitches. No food poisoning. No burned side dishes. Only two minor hitches- 1) I didn’t have enough potatoes for mashed potatoes and 2) I accidentally used white instead of red sweet potatoes (they still tasted good). I will post the recipes I used later in the week.
The turkey, ham, cranberry dressing, and rolls….
Green beans, gravy, sweet potatoes from Mamaw Rose, and dressing…
Crunchy pea salad, deviled eggs, sweet potatoes, stuffing, and turkey breast….
The Finale- the dessert table featuring pumpkin praline cheesecake, pumpkin pie, butterscotch pie, jam cake and pecan pie…
Oh your yams and dressing look great. OK, everything is. Buy the big bag of potatoes next year. I know it seems so silly, but they do last awhile and are always on sale. Of course, I tell you this now.
I had recently purchased a 10 lb bag but I guess I used them up faster than I realized. Oops! I used your dressing recipe, along with my mother’s (which has no true measured amounts), to make ours. Not nearly as good as my mother’s but a decent imitation. Thanks for your contribution to our meal.
