What is on your menu for this year?

I am not cooking which is a nice change because I was part of a team that cooked for 2300 last year. Cant tell you how long it was before I coold look at turkey again. lol

Growing up my Nana did Thanksgiving dinner and always had Italian food woven into the meal. I was a teenager before I understood that most people did not serve a turkey AND a lasagna.

Who knew?

My grandparents were just trying to bring some of their family favorites to the table but I still crack up every time I think about the huge crowded Thanksgiving table, the extra banquet style table, packed with food and a big lasagna. Then there was Italian pastry table for desert. Pumpkin pie was never a centerpiece because the pastry was so good.

Lol...and here I thought my family was the ONLY one that had lasagna and Italian wedding soup at Thanksgiving!

The menu this year is gonna go the more traditional route (if only because I'm just cooking for the four of us ). Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato cassarole, brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce, and Nantucket pie and reverse caramel apples for dessert.
