I lean heavily vegetarian, which means that when I decided going home for Thanksgiving wasn’t going to be an option this year, I decided to forgo the turkey and gravy. Instead, my (coffee) table will be piled high with side dishes, including:
- Stuffing
- Mashed potatoes
- Sweet potato medallions (Mum & I won’t have to squabble over my desire to leave the skin on)
- Squash (possibly stuffed) or maybe pumpkin pasties
- Corn pudding
- Cranberry
- Carrots and peppers
- Broccoli or maybe green beans
- Salad
- Cheese and crackers
- Pie
I’m aiming for 2 servings of everything except the stuffing, the cranberry, and the pie. I’ll be very happy if those linger on for a few more days.
Wow. That’s a lot of cooking I need to do over the next 40 hours. I guess I’d better get moving early tomorrow.
We usually have an acorn squash with our stuffing, and I have never ever missed having turkey. We make mushroom gravy, and a lot of the other things you are planning. It’s all SO YUMMY!!
