Stuffed mushrooms, my aunt’s scratch made wheat rolls, and bacon wrapped asparagus.

Candied yams from a can with toasted marshmallows is all I need! Everything else is details.

Whatever I bring. Seriously, the ex gets my kids this year. Of course I’m going for them, but:

• no alcohol
• no soda
• low sugar
• no corn anything
• very little spice of any kind
• none of my family’s traditional foods unless I bring it

While they’re making my favorite pumpkin pie, somehow it can’t have any spices this year. Just pumpkin. So bland but might as well be mayo

Political discourse.

Collards. I only recently discovered them as a transplant to the southern part of the country, and I love making them because they’re phenomenally tasty. Plus you can justify that they’re dark leafy greens (never mind the gratuitous pork fat).

Deep fried turkey. We have used the Butterball electric frier for over a decade and it turns out awesome every year.

Stuffing and deviled eggs. However my family is also full of deviled egg fiends, so mostly stuffing

A giant slice of Costco pumpkin pie with a gallon of whipped cream on top. Anyone who expresses disapproval is secretly envious.

Leftovers

Green bean casserole.

I was grossed out as a kid, but that stuff is the bomb.

Nothing in particular. It will all be food.

I’m making Bizzle’s Sticky Wieners, which I’m sure already have a name but holy cow I couldn’t pass up that joke. It’s lil smokies wrapped in bacon and topped with brown sugar, then baked. It’s pretty decadent though so I only make them for thanksgiving, I’ve been looking forward to it all year.

I ordered the Popeyes Cajun turkey and i make great stuffing so I’m looking forward to both of those.

Just polished off the trial run of the dressing and gravy, happy to have them again next week.
