Let's see those Thanksgiving menus and recipes

thanks for the recipes, too! I'm gonna try those potato rolls. Seems easy enough to make ahead a few days.
My Menu is about the same as everyone else's. I killed the green salad many years ago. Seemed like it was the first thing to hit the table, then everyone grabbed a bit of this and that off the top, and no one really wanted salad with dinner. So now, it's been replaced by a huge veggie tray. The veggies are prepped a couple of days in advance, then the tray is put together as soon as the bird goes in the oven. Makes for great, healthy snacking before dinner and gets those veggies in everyone.

My turkey will use the baking bag recipe same as you. I do stuff my bird and rub it with butter and sprinkle salt inside.

My stuffing is an old family recipe. It starts with French meat (recipe to follow) then is basically bread cubes, celery, onion, seasoning, butter and broth, all tossed together. In the bird, I put a handful of bread mix, then a couple of spoonfuls of meat, alternating until it's full.

Mashed potatoes, peeled, cubed, boiled until mashable, then milk, butter, salt and pepper.

Gravy is done with last years bird usually, and any other poultry bones in the freezer. I make stock up to a week ahead and make pan gravy with the turkey drippings and the stock. I shake cold stock together with some flour then add as the thickener. Salt and pepper to taste.

Yams are from a can. Drained, with butter or marg, a couple handfuls of brown sugar, a big handful of chopped walnuts. When they are almost done, marshmallows go on top until melted and maybe browned.

rolls are usually store bought, served with butter and margarine, because some like one and some like the other.

Cranberry sauce is usually out of a can, and sliced into disks. This year, I'm gonna try this recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/claire-robinson/spicy-cranberry-chutney-recipe/index.html but I'll leave out the jalapenos. I don't like cranberry sauce, so if this gets good reviews, I'll use it again. If not, I'll go back to the can.

I also make all my pies. I make apple from betty crocker, pecan secret family recipe, chocolate cream, pumpkin tartlets (recipe to follow when I find it), and any other pie requests. I make all my own crusts.

I serve wine and juice and water. The entire meal falls on me every year. I feed who ever wants to show up and expect my guests to bring nothing. Sometimes, they do, sometimes, they don't. Either way doesn't matter to me. Most years, I have 10-13 people. This year, I'll have 8 or so, as my kids will be gone to their dads. I'll start making broth and pies early next week, maybe even this weekend, so it's done. It's COLD here, so I'll store the pies on the back deck, where they will probably freeze, but it's ok, they thaw and eat just fine!

I love the alternative pie idea, one of my kids doesn't like pie, so maybe I'll try that, too.

Please do post your egg recipes. I like to do stuff like that from time to time, but don't have a recipe anyone loves yet! Oh, and quick bread recipes, too!
