…some kind of way out of here….

i put myself in charge of thanksgiving at my parents’ house this year. i’ve been enjoying cooking and baking, trying new recipes that i’ve had bookmarked for months before i had time to try them out. so now i’m putting together a menu for thanksgiving. i’m trying some things i haven’t done before and trying to mix it up from the usual dishes we have there this year. i’m also looking for things that can be mostly prepped the day before and assembled/finished easily.

appetizer:
Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Tart
French Onion Soup

main:
Roast Turkey, brined overnight

sides:
Tart Cranberry Dipping Sauce
Roasted Stuffed Onions (and half without the onions, just the stuffing)
Creamy Golden Mashed Potatoes
Alton Brown’s version of Green Bean Casserole
Nathan’s dad’s recipe for rolls
Mac and Cheese casserole
Assorted cheeses and vegetables

dessert:
pie of some sort
