The fresh bright flavors were fantastic and we didn't feel nearly as lethargic afterwards!suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08042158377657123524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805719930354551725.post-23948848058376545682010-11-16T11:16:09.396-08:002010-11-16T11:16:09.396-08:00We're right there with ya... our 4yo daughter ...We're right there with ya... our 4yo daughter gets her tonsils out the Tuesday before Thanksgiving-- I doubt she'll be up for travel yet. I bought a small turkey breast, and I plan to put together stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls, and green beans. Oh, and a pumpkin pie-- GOTTA have the pie! :) It's scaled down, but festive nonetheless.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352986348948986892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805719930354551725.post-63710194045423443282010-11-16T07:15:55.907-08:002010-11-16T07:15:55.907-08:00I also have baked a full Thanksgiving dinner for t...I also have baked a full Thanksgiving dinner for two in the past but not recently. And now that I'm a vegetarian I have tried to get certain people to switch to salmon in place of turkey. No dice so far but I still think it sounds yummy. I always do a pumpkin pie and cranberries for Thanksgiving and Christmas, no matter what.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948800298547471988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805719930354551725.post-70080527497797695772010-11-16T03:26:37.307-08:002010-11-16T03:26:37.307-08:00Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and over the p...Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and over the past few years it has just been my father and I and yes we have a full thanksgiving dinner. Seems wasteful to a point but it means so much to me. So we just find the smallest turkey we can, I make my grammy's parker house rolls, pumpkin pie, all the trimmings, we eat and enjoy, have a lot of turkey sandwiches to follow but I wouldn't change a thing. Best of luck to you for a great holidaynaddivinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07407630613698085832noreply@blogger.com
