Why I Am Looking Forward To Thanksgiving

1. Chestnut Dressing. This is a family tradition and both my cousin Janet and I are addicted to this.
2. Pumpkin pie. I think this is my all time favorite pie. Made with a little bit of brandy, Mmmmmmm!
3. Mashed potatoes with butter, not gravy. I know a lot of people like gravy with their potatoes, but not me. Gravy is for the turkey and stuffing.
4. Butternut squash made with butter, cinnamon and brown sugar. This year I will have my own squash on the table.
5. Turkey. The best kind of poultry ever. I just love it!!! The day after Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches are the very best!
6. Apple pie I love that too. Let’s just say that dessert has many layers in our house!
7. Cranberry sauce. It is the perfect condiment for a turkey meal!
8. Plum pudding with hard sauce. My mom makes the plum pudding from an old family recipe. It’s fabulous!
9. Gravy. Home made and smooth. (God willing that my gravy will be lump free this year!)
10. Pickles, and relish and olives. We love to have these on the table to dress up the meal.
11. Pearl onions. Not one of my favorites, but Hubby really loves them.
12. Fresh green beans.
13. The traditional, day after turkey sandwich. 2 slices of hearty bread toasted. Mayonnaise and cranberry sauce spread on each slice. About 2 Tbs. stuffing spread on the toast, and then several slices of turkey. My all time favorite sandwich and one I look forward to every year!!!

  4. I miss Thanksgiving for sure! I’ve never had Chestnut Dressing, is it sweet?

    I pour gravy on everything (except the sweets) -potatoes, green beans, turkey. Must be a southern thing to do 🙂

  5. Hmmmmm.
    I want recipes…please and thank you..like the pumpkin pie with brandy!!
    I’m so hungry now thankyouverymuch!

  7. I can’t WAIT to have one of those sandwiches. They are my favourite as well.
    We also make Fairy banquet Pudding…long story, old recipe.

  9. ha! 3. Mashed potatoes with butter, not gravy. I know a lot of people like gravy with their potatoes, but not me. Gravy is for the turkey and stuffing.

    God being on weight watchers during TT is going to make me cry.
