Here's what we're planning for the big Thanksgiving feast. I'll be sharing cooking duties with my mother-in-law, but we'll have everyone to our house to eat.
Roasted Turkey
Bread Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Shrimp and Grits (Hubby's request)
Green Beans w/ Toasted Almonds
Spinach Salad
Apple Pie
Pumpkin Pie
We're trying to keep it simple this year with the basic favorites, but I'll tweak some of the recipes to make them a little healthier.
What are your favorite must-have dishes for Thanksgiving?

Cranberry Relish
I do not like cranberry in a can,
I do not like it in a sauce,
I do not like it from a pot.
I do not like it in jello,
I do not like it formed in cello.
Sorry for that poor attempt at Suessian rhyme. The point is: I do not like my Thanksgiving cranberries cooked or in jello. I like it RAW! I know, I'm strange. But I love my Cranberry Relish!
Cranberry Relish
1 bag fresh cranberries
1/2 fresh orange, with rind and membranes removed
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 chopped walnuts (optional)
Place first three ingredients in your food processor. Pulse until combined. Place mixture in a bowl. Fold in walnuts. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
It's that easy, folks!

Thanksgiving Planning
It's time to start making lists and checking them twice. No, not for Christmas. Not yet. Lists for Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, maybe because the main attraction of the day is food (and football!). This list is a work in progress, but I need to start writing things down so that I can remember what needs done!
Menu:
Deep fried turkey
Pork BBQ
Twice baked potatoes (my MIL is making these)
Stuffing
Cranberry Relish
Broccoli casserole
Succotash
Dinner rolls
Pumpkin pie
Pecan pie (?)
We'll have at least 8 adults for dinner. But we always add people at the last minute. We extend invitations to any of our friends who may not have family nearby with whom to spend the day. We've had up to 22 adults some years.
