Thanksgiving is one of the best Holidays of the year isn’t it? Talk about the best food ever!! Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls, green bean casserole….the list goes on and on. I am drooling even thinking about it!
The nice folks from Butterball are offering 10 lucky Picky Palate readers a free Thanksgiving Turkey (in the form of a $15 Coupon). How fun is that? See bottom of post to enter.
If there are a few things I’ve learned over the years it has been the following things:
1. Test out the recipes you are preparing for Thanksgiving in ADVANCE! No need for any added stress if a recipe doesn’t turn out how you expected 🙂
2. Have family help bring food to dinner. The host absolutely should not have to prepare the entire meal him/herself.
3. Prepare what you can the night before to save yourself some time in the kitchen. I try to do all of my desserts the night before 🙂
4. Have a clean up party with your guests! Don’t be left with a gigantic mess all by your lonesome 🙂
5. Most importantly enjoy every moment!
Here are some of my favorite Picky Palate Thanksgiving Recipes tried and true! Hope y’all enjoy!
The Best Stuffing Ever! Sourdough Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing
Cheesy Bacon Green Bean Casserole Pot Pie
Cinnamon Roll Pumpkin Vanilla Sheet Cake

We haven’t had any disasters for a long time, (knock on wood)My Sister in law didn’t thaw the Turkey all the way two years ago, which we had to delay eating for another hour, but we played boggle while we waited.

One year when the Atkins diet was all the rage my Aunt and Uncle did not make mashed potatoes for our Thanksgiving meal. Boy did they hear about and keep hearing about it every year. Those potatoes are now on the table every year!
I haven’t had any diasasters yet (knock on wood!!!)

I haven’t really had any recipe failures, just constant changes in when and who. Not sure what is going on for Thanksgiving this year. Empty nesting has it’s benefits and downfalls.

I have not had a holiday/Thanksgiving disaster yet, and I hope this trend continues (at least for this year)! 🙂

Lucky for us, no disasters to date! We were sure last year was going to be it when we attempted to deep fry a turkey but much to our amazement we were successful!
I was taking out my pretzel jello and it slipped and fell on the floor. There was no saving it!
Done the bag left in the turkey, chinese buffet on T-day complete with food poisoning, and lots of lumpy gravy. No true disasters, but all small mishaps are fun stories…
I’ve been privileged not to have any disasters, but my sister-in-law had one. Her oven quit working last year the day before Thanksgiving, and she was supposed to host for three friends. They ended up going out to eat and seeing a movie,and she swears she’s doing the same thing this year.

No disasters yet, I have only been at it for 5 years. Many more to come.
