Must haves





My list of Thanksgiving must haves (in order of importance):

  • my family
  • turkey
  • mashed potatoes and gravy
  • stuffing
  • pumpkin pie with whipped cream
  • strawbery pretzel salad (yes, this is a SALAD, not a dessert. If it was a dessert, it would be called strawberry pretzel dessert)
  • green vegetable (I don't REALLY want a green vegetable, but you have to have one, Mom said)

What's on your Thanksgiving must haves list?

could you please post the strawberry pretzel salad recipe? or e-mail it to me?

here's what i gotta have for thanksgiving:

- turkey with a roasted garlic and rosemary rub
- a bottle of white wine with a pretty label (pretty much anything except chardonnay)
- an apple praline-pecan tart
- and of course, a green vegetable

i usually make mom's cornbread stuffing, but i'm fine without stuffing OR potatoes and i'm not a big fan of gravy, but we'll probably have it anyway. nobody else likes sweet potatoes or i'd make them, too!

cassie will make a pumpkin pie.

Definately a turkey, soaked in a brine see alton brown, good eats.(the drippings make an awesome gravy, my kids will use it all up)
smashed taters, stuffing a must, and yes some sort of vegi.
don't forget PIE!!!
