It's not a normal menu, but menu with lots of great expectations. A menu full of tradition and hopefully with your own personal touch.</span> Also, are you cooking the entire meal or is it pot luck. If it's pot luck, make sure you coordinate who is to bring what dish, so that you don't have a meal of green bean casseroles. Here's my normal, traditional meal:<br />Appetizer: Cheeseball &amp; Spinach Dip<br />Main Dish: Turkey &amp; Dressing (Cornbread) with Jellied Cranberry<br />SIDES: Homemade Maccaroni &amp; Cheese, Squash Casserole, Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Topping, Broccoli Casserole, Skillet Corn, Mashed Potatoes, 7 Layer Salad<br />DESERTS: You gotta have Pumpkin Pie, but it never gets eaten. I like to make a pumpkin pie with a cream cheese layer drizzled with maple syrup. You gotta have Pecan Pie too and something chocolate like - Chocolate Chip Cake<br />Now you're ready to lay on the couch and feel miserably full the rest of the day.......until that evening when the left overs start screaming for you from the kitchen.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6971142285043093726-5549081060031949948?l=homecooking101.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14345063090149154830noreply@blogger.com0
