I am making a roasted chicken (there's only 4 of us eating, don't like turkey anyway), cornbread dressing, giblet gravy made with cornstarch (I am gluten intolerant so can't eat anything made with wheat), squash casserole, sweet potato souffle, and steamed green beans with basil, and deviled eggs. that is enough. I think my friends are bringing a pecan pie, but I can not eat it because of the crust. Karens last blog post..Project 365 Day 44 Cactus

I've been doing it for several years and I change it up occasionally depending who will be here. This year I'll do all traditional because that's what my guests want. OH, and I'm adding a Nacho bar for my brother who refuses to eat traditional turkey dinner. Hyphen Mamas last blog post..How to waste hours of your day and come out looking like a tranny

Yeah, pregnancy brain is still what I have. I have already lost my wallet with EVERYTHING I need in it. My military ID has my hubby’s S.S. number on it and all. Luckily someone found it and gave it to the store, so I got it back. Sleep deprivation has made me very forgetful about everything. I hope it’s gets better.lol

Cinnkitty » Thanks for visiting! About the name: Nope, my mom just made it up after seeing a movie in the theater. Someone had a similar name like Salina or Catalina and she just decided on Talina…

This will be the first year that I DON”T HAVE TO WORK on Thanksgiving. As you know, working in the Resturant industry, we were always making Thanksgiving dinner for alot of other people. It feels nice to have someone cook for you finally.lol
Adam, Faith, Riley ,and myself will be going to West Virginia to Adams grandmas house and they will be doing the cooking. I offered to help but was turned down.lol
I would love that Pumpkin Maple Cheesecake recipe. That sounds sooo yummy!!

Ok – totally unrelated aside here. I followed you here via Dutchie because of your name. I have a friend named Talina and up until now I never thought anyone else would have the same name.

So…the question is, did your parents name you after the character in the Pern novels too?

Cheers!!

I have always liked the traditional dishes we put together but something new is always fun too. I usually see fun ways to cook the turkey or other dishes but am always afraid of the results afterward, especially when it's just the two of us. Our turkey this year will be different since it's smoked. That will be our "something new to try" this year! Nathans last blog post..Fall’s Leaf Blower Madness
