Thanksgiving menu

I am trying to work on this menu with an eye towards things that will make really good leftovers. I want to plan a leftovers party for the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I should probably get invites out for that. lolz

Anyway, here's the menu thus far:

Pumpkin martinis
Local autumnal beer
Mulled wine
Sparkling cider

crudite in this shape or
possibly this turkey shaped cheese ball, as it seems something Char would like to make

Waldorf salad (made by my mom)

Spiral ham, maybe like this, def something with pinapple

Baked mac and cheese, likely Pioneer Woman's recipe. I have another one, on paper, that uses velveeta.

Brussel sprouts (made by my mom, she's still deciding on method of cooking)

Classic green bean casserole

Honey Cornbread

Classic mashed potatoes with lots of butter, sour cream, cream, maybe a little bit of cheese

Pumpkin mousse (my mom's making this too!)

Platter of fresh fruit

Vanilla ice cream or coconut sorbet Read more "Thanksgiving menu..."
