new dishes for Thanksgiving


This Thanksgiving I wanted to try out some new dishes. I presented the idea to my family and they were agreeable. (BTW - my brother couldn't get off work this weekend, so we had Thanksgiving this past Saturday at my mom's. We'll probably do something at home on the actual day, but the meal with my mom and brother is already a done deal).

So for our large family Thanksgiving meal we had all new dishes.

Lemon-Herb Roasted Turkey
Lemon-Butter New Potatoes
Honey-Pineapple Sweet Potatoes
Sweet & Sour Brussels Sprouts
Colorful Corn Medley (the website calls it Fresh Corn Medley, but it's the same recipe)
Comforting Cranberry-Apple Crisp

Then we added an old favorite. One of my aunts recipes, Four Layer Dessert. (This one I posted here).

The new recipes I got from a booklet sent to me from Taste of Home magazine. They were fun to make and delicious to eat.

And...I've got more marked in the book to try for Christmas. :) Fun and yum!

What's on your plate this Thanksgiving?


Until next time...

Never heard of the lemon buttered new potatoes. Sounds good. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Hello, to our friends down South.

Your dishes sound wonderful. I am glad you decided to have Thanksgiving after all. It is too good to miss. I do hope your diet continues to do well otherwise.

Hugs,

Kat

We had lunch/dinner with our pastor and his family (to include many of the in-laws and grandkids), so I only had to bring a few things: dinner rolls, pumpkin pie, snickerdoodle pie (oh my goodness, it was so good!), and some freshly whipped cream. Not too stressful and the whole meal was delicious, plus we had lots of fun with friends! :o)
