It’s Thanksgiving Time! – Do the Tummy Splurge

I am looking forward to next week! I get to spend time with my family! I have been working on my menu for the last few days. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I get so excited about cooking for my parents and making sure they really enjoy themselves. My menu has not been finalized yet because this weekend is going to be a big one as well. This weekend is NCSU’s Homecoming weekend so I will be cheering for the Wolfpack!

Getting back to Thanksgiving, can you picture it? Cuddled up in your thrower watching movies with family after a belly full of your favorite foods, laughing together and conversing with one another. It’s the one time of the year (besides Christmas) when I get to “tummy splurge” by eating whatever I want. Well here is a look into my draft menu.

  • Fish stew
  • Rice
  • Collard greens
  • Chicken (not sure how I will prepare the chicken yet)
  • Potato salad
  • Dressing
  • Green beans
  • Mac & cheese
  • coconut/pineapple cake
  • cornbread or rolls
  • Some of the things on the menu may change such as the dessert and/or one of the vegetables, but whatever the case they will have a great and healthy feast. This should last the whole weekend. I thought about a healthier dessert, but I kind of miss some of the things my Mom used to make so I decided to make a “blast” from the past.

    Are you cooking this Thanksgiving holiday? If so, have you made your menu for the holidays yet? Feel free to share!
