Thanksgiving Dinner Preperations

I love Thanksgiving dinner.  A few years ago, I started doing the cooking and now I seem to do it every year.  I don’t especially like spending three days cooking for a meal that lasts maybe thirty minutes tops but I love having leftovers for the week and a half after Thanksgiving Day.

I’ve used a few recipes over the years but for the last three or four, I’ve stuck with the same basic menu because it’s got something for everybody and everything for me.  Our feast consists of the following:

• sausage stuffed mushrooms
• deviled eggs
• French-cut green beans with almonds and fried onions
• ranch mashed potatoes with bacon
• baked sweet potatoes stuffed with marshmallow and pecan strudel
• savory mushroom stuffing
• regular stuffing
• potato crescent rolls
• German chocolate pie
• pecan pie
• pumpkin pie
