We went to my DIL's and she cooked the turkey, mashed potatoes, and tons of desserts plus crescent rolls. Her kids love desserts, so she always cooks all of their favorites. We all split everything else up. I made corn bread dressing, (my MIL's recipe) fresh fruit and dips to go with them, an easy chocolate trifle, a carrot cake, my daughter made three vegetable dishes that looked so good, even the little ones had to eat them, and my dil's mother made Macaroni and cheese and a delicious cranberry dish, pecan tassies and I can't remember what else, but there was plenty...and oh yes, appetizers so we could all get ready for Thanksgiving dinner..LOL
One thing about everyone loving turkey, they also love turkey sandwiches, so we rarely have much if any left over, but maybe next year I'll cook a larger turkey just to make the left over recipes. |
