What are you having for Thanksgiving Dinner?

I'm still pondering. No ham this year, just a turkey for sure but pondering all the goodies that will go with it.

Turkey w/Gibblet Gravy
Mashed Potatoes
Green Bean Casserole
Stovetop Turkey Stuffing (Got sick one year from cooking stuffing inside the turkey)
Cream Corn
Yeast Rolls

Those are a given.
Still working on the relish tray and desserts.
I'm thinking...

Pretzel Breadsticks warmed and cut up with a nice Cheesy Fondue
Deviled Eggs
Red Hots, Pepperoni & Boudin Sausages cooked & cut up for the Fondue Tray
Spicy Cajun Pickled Green Beans
Pickled Red Beets
Dill and Sweet Pickles
Green & Black Olives
Olive Brushetta on Toasted French Bread Squares
Store bought Pumpkin Pie w/Whipped Cream
Angel Food Cake with Raspberry Cream Topping
Cucumbers, Sweet Onions, Tomatoes Cheddar & Mozerella Cheese with Raspberry Blush Basalmic Vinegar Splash
My Famous Citrus Punch
Pickled Sweet Cherry Peppers

It's supposed to be 70 degs and clear Thursday, might do something on the grill. Expecting 9 of us in my little apartment.

Same here, probably - except for the "eat too much" part. winking I've adopted a "survival strategy" for holiday dinners where I'll load up on the veggies from the relish tray (baby carrots, snow peas, broccoli, etc.) while the meal's cooking. That way, when the actual meal is served, I won't tear into it like a rabid badger... :laughing:

I've found that it's a LOT easier to pay attention to what I put in my mouth than to try to exercise it all off later! sad grumble

From "Rocky", To you it's Thanksgiving. To me, it's just Thursday. I'm alone, so I'm not doing anything special.

Thanksgiving is actually one of my favorite holidays. I am a good cook, so my skills are being wasted since I have nobody to cook for. I have made full Thanksgiving dinners on my own in my 20's. I baked bread just to make stuffing and I prefer cranberry sauce that is not from a can. I also would bake dessert too.
