November 22, 20178 yr Deep fried Turkey Stuffing Mashed potatoes Gravy (poured over the first 3) Homemade Mac and Cheese made with white American cheese Sweet potatoes casserole Corn Yeast rolls Pumpkin pie Apple dumplings (family tradition) Leftover turkey turned into turkey salad for sandwiches. We have about 50 family members get together every Thanksgiving...once we out grew my wife's grandparents home we started using the Church Fellowship Hall. I think 76 is the current record for family members showing up.

November 22, 20178 yr Not that I'm OCD or anything, but the dinner rolls must be Sister Schubert's. I agree, I love them. But there is something about those little cheap, brown and serve rolls that announces that it's Thanksgiving!
November 22, 20178 yr What in the hell is Wilted Lettuce? This was goldie's recipe that she shared with me: I have 2, a healthy one and a not so healthy one....:lol2: NOT healthy. Cut up your leaf lettuce, big bowl full and ad about 1 cup of green onions then sprinkle with white vinegar. Fry about 6-8 pieces of bacon. Pour the hot bacon grease over the lettuce, crumble the fried bacon over the lettuce and enjoy. Healthy version. Fix the lettuce the same way except heat 1/2 C of very strong chicken broth and pour over the lettuce. This is good and healthier for you, but not as good as the old country version..IMO. We eat both.
November 22, 20178 yr Author This was goldie's recipe that she shared with me: The bacon grease receipe is the one I love, but we call it killed lettuce.

November 22, 20178 yr While I like Thanksgiving, I really don't love the food and really don't eat a whole lot. Turkey is just ok, I despise everything pumpkin, and really none of the other traditional foods (mac&cheese, mashed potatoes, etc) really get me excited. Ham would be the one thing I eat the most of, and deviled eggs would be the other must have for me. But otherwise, I really don't look forward to Thanksgiving food.
November 22, 20178 yr This was goldie's recipe that she shared with me: I definitely prefer the unhealthy version.
