Tonight starts the cooking!

November 24, 2009 by Amy 5 Comments

I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is almost here! Tonight marks the first night of prepping and cooking for us, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Also, I was a finalist for a photo contest for Marx Foods, so if you could take a minute (really doesn’t take long) to vote for Skinny Food by Amy, I would appreciate it! Vote here!

Our Menu!

Appetizers (keeping it simple here)
Havarti Cheese with Praline Sauce & Crackers
Jalapeno Jelly with Cream Cheese & Crackers

Entrees
Smoked Turkey
Glazed Ham

Sides
Salad with Vinaigrette
Mom’s Famous Cornbread Dressing
Rice Dressing
Cauliflower Au Gratin (Mom is bringing this dish)
Sweet Potato Casserole
Green Bean Casserole

Desserts
Pecan Pie
Sweet Potato Pie
Memaw’s Bread Pudding (which my Memaw is bringing)
Cinnabon Apple Pie (DH’s favorite pie)
Turkey Cake Pops

Not much on here is skinny, really, but there will be some lighter substitutions for a skinnier holiday meal. I can’t wait to share some pictures of Thanksgiving with y’all!
